[QUOTE="Jerry Smith, post: 210162, member: 2568"] Homology between species is seen as a result of common descent in evolutionary theory. It could also be explained by a common designer. We have plenty of threads here that discuss the evidence for evolutionary theory and common descent, homology being one small part. There aren't any threads hwere that discuss the evidence for Design. Maybe you should start one. No, you have an infinite number of explanations for the data, some naturalistic, and some supernaturalistic. The naturalistic ones can be tested. Neodarwinian evolution is one of the naturalistic ones. It can be tested. The evidence is discussed in another thread. Some folks deny the evidence for evolution. Therein lies the debate. Life exists provably, and demonstrably it existed in the distant past as well. Therefore this condition of common descent has already been fulfilled, and no discussion about how that life arrived here will have any further impact. It may well have arrived by spaceship from a distant star system where super-intelligent aliens are synthesizing primitave life in a lab then depositing it on likely looking planets, for all the difference it would make to evolution. Life exists, we need not speculate on how it got here to understand what it has done once it did arrive. I have a plausible explanation. God created the first life and put it on the planet earth. If you will agree that my explanation is plausible then we can leave it to rest and discuss evolution. So the lack of a plausible explanation make a common Designer into a better explanation for the diversity of life on earth today, for their genetic and morphological homology and paralogy, for the clearly progressive morphological changes in the fossil record, and for the geographic distributions of living and extinct life forms that we perceive? What explanations does the common Designer hypothesis give for instance, for the fact that there were no mammals in the Devonian? [/QUOTE]
