You're going to need evidence "against common descent evolution".  Argument alone will be insufficient.  In this case, it won't need to be extraordinary, any ordinary evidence will do, like the mountains of ordinary evidence suggesting common descent that you can find in every single living creature on earth....... As it stands, common descent is a -fact- for every species we've checked, but we haven't checked them all, and there may be an outlier out there.

Shouldn't be difficult, you only need to find a single subject of a single species of animal unrelated to the others. Go, do work.

No that would not work. Modern evolutionary synthesis doesn't preclude the possibility of a second tree of life.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
