I am proposing that it will soon be a human experience that lineages of life are the products of intelligent design. And without ever observing a lineage coming into existence naturally, people will have a strong rationale to believe that our lineage of life is the product of intelligent design. If we apply our rule for determining if something is designed or not, that rule will suggest our lineage is a designed thing.
The atheists will be the ones needing to justify the claim that our lineage is the results of natural processes. Yes Stimbo....this is shifting of the burden of proof....but it is not me doing the shifting. What is shifting the burden of proof is the circumstances we now find ourselves in.
It is this change in circumstances that is putting the atheistic position on a weaker footing. Maybe it is time you re-think your positions.

Sub lineages come into existences naturally. Completely new and independent lineages is another thing entirely.

I don't reject them, but until abiogenesis is observed, there is no reason to think it exists. Intelligent design exists...this is a fact.
