re: #262 Iron Fist

Not all Creationists believe that the Earth is only 6000 years old. I, myself believe that it is far older than that. I don’t have a problem with the concept of animals and plants and bacteria, etc. change over time, or that those that adapt better tend to pass on their genes to their offspring. All of these things are manifestly true. A mule is solid evidence that a hourse and a donkey have a common ancestor. What it is not evidence of is that the horse, donkey, my parrot, myself, and the rosebush out in the yard all share a common ancestor.

They all share the possession of DNA, and in fact all share DNA sequences.
