Word choice notwithstanding, I have seen no discoveries of life existing that does not share the same building blocks, so my point still applies--we should expect to see vast similarities between all living things if we share the same building blocks.Again, just because we share building blocks doesn't mean that those are the only blocks in the set. The much more interesting observations center around -why- carbon based life took hold here, and why we don;t see silicon based life - or anything more exotic. If evolution wasn't the manner in which we ended up where we are I see no reason for such a preponderance of carbon based life. Within the limits of evolution, it's trivially easy to explain. We're carbon based because our ancestors were carbon based, not because carbon is the only road to damascus. So no, your point doesn't stand, it's having trouble just leaning onto something.
I'll ask again, how do you know that you and I get our genetic material from the same man, and where did he get his?
