Mmmmm stepping into this, start with either Adam and Eve or even Moses and tell me the names of all of your ancestors leading up to you.
Yours is the kind of question that comes from people with little or no knowledge of biology and how it is done. Sad.

Yes from the two life forms sperm and egg. Happens all the time.Happened many times?
No your are and you appear to be the only one talking about it. Unfortunately for you, repetition does not equal truth. If it did you arguments would be accepted by the whole world instead of just yourself and perhaps one or two others most likely in your church.We are talking about the view that only naturalistic mechanisms produced a human and a pine tree from a single life form from long long ago, aren't we?
Why on earth should I defend a viewpoint that I don't have and have never expressed.Are you convinced of that viewpoint, and if so, why? If not, why not?
In your world perhaps but in the world of science, it is the mark of someone being very precise about their statements. All science is provisional and that is reflected in the language. Your not liking this has nothing to do with the validity of what they are saying.As far as answering your question, when 'maybes', 'could be's and 'we don't know for sure' pepper a particular viewpoint, that's a pretty good indication that guesses and suppositions form the basis for the particular viewpoint.

That you don't understand this is an unfortunate but self inflicted problem.
My other question was about how you can make statements about subjects of which you know little or nothing. Can you address this?

LOL. Well, that certainly isn't speaking of the common life form of the human and pine tree, is it?
Why should it succeed when no one is making the argument in the scientific literature. I am not making the argument at all as I do not agree with it.The attempt to dismiss the failure to provide evidence that only naturalistic mechanisms produced a human and a pine tree from a common life form of long long ago isn't going to succeed.
It remains mainly with you. I really don't know who you are are arguing with. A bit obsessive, don't you think?The question remains and will continue to remain, repetitive or not.
I wasn't discussing this. It is your obsession, not mine.

Transitional Fossils of Hominid Skulls
If you had actually read "Origin of Species" you would know that they should not be everywhere due to the imperfection of the geologic record.
The Origin of Species: Chapter 9
Darwin wrote an entire chapter describing how the geologic record would not be capable of capturing such fine graded transitionals with any regularity.
Found them for you.
List of transitional fossils - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Have you even read "Origin of Species", or have you only read the quote mines that dishonest creationists use?
I realize using words like "magic" when speaking of how God created His creation is to elicit certain emotional reactions, but to ask for evidence that a pine tree and a whale has the same common ancestor, and evidence they were created by only naturalistic mechanisms isn't worded to elicit emotional reactions. It's a valid request.
Get to it then.Arguing DNA evidence and common descent with creationists is a fool's errand.
In your mind then, wouldn't it be true, that no person should be convicted of a crime, unless someone observed them doing the actual crime?
Hmm, hard to say though. The bible never states explicitly that they are completely immortal, or actually alive for that matter. I would imagine god should have the ability to destroy them.
Yeah, just like a body with a knife sticking out the back is not evidence of murder, but just of a human that lived and then died of unkown causes.
Or, you could try not engaging in juvenile intellectual dishonesty...
Choose any pine tree and any whale anywhere on earh, take a DNA sample from both of them.
Compare the DNA, you will find they are indeed related. Very distantly related, but decended from a common ancestor nonetheless.
If you compare your own DNA with the whale, you will find you are more closely related to it, than the pine tree.
Compare your own DNA with your mother, and the similarities will be extremely close.
What data is skewed?
Found them for you:
Just as David's own words say that there is no God.
"There is no God"--Psalms 49:1
1) Common building blocks
2) That isn't addressing the view that only naturalistic mechanisms produced a human and a pine tree from a single ancestor of long long ago.
Piltown man, lucy, the tree fossils that are vertical though thousands of years of strata,
some fossils that haven't changed in thousands of years.
This is a nice collection of skulls but no other bones to show if they walked on knuckles or had actual feet or hip bones more and more like humans. Looks like more guess work.
You shouldn't quote mine the Bible.......It's Psalm 14:1
Psalm 14:1King James Version (KJV)
14 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Do you have a "body with a knife sticking out of it" or should I say fossil remains that show the transition of one species as it changes into another species... There should be millions.
Proteins are the common building blocks, the DNA is the "linking" evidence you requested.
What sort of evidence would suffice?
Arguing DNA evidence and common descent with creationists is a fool's errand.
