Whereas you're assuming that DNA sprouted only once (abiogenesis) and then evolved.
So for example, having had success with apes, Yahweh probably took a segment of ape DNA, made some minor adjustments, lo and behold the first humans.
I mean, why start fresh? Why not build on an existing proven model?
It's not an assumption. It's not a problem for abiogenesis or evolution if DNA started many times. It's just not what the available evidence indicates.
Why should an infinitely creative omnipotent being not start fresh every time, instead of endlessly repeating themselves and micro-tweaking gene sequences? That sounds more like aliens than the Yahweh who spoke the universe into being.
