My point is that it does not matter to the science if they don't. Questions like "and if they don't" are metaphysical and should not be part of the equation.
The evidence in existence for common descent remains overwhelming, orphan genes not withstanding. The existing explanations are sufficiently reasonable. There another explanation: #5 - space aliens planted all life here. Poof! Done.

Now, if the entire genomes of numerous species was radically different, you might be on to something. But, they aren't.
