There is evidence that cats have 90% of our genes, cows 80%, a mouse 75%, and chickens and fruitflys 60%. In my view, that is evidence that a creator used the same ingredients in many of his creations. Evidence of a mind, a mind that knew what it was doing.
If it's evidence of a mind, it's evidence of a mind with limited imagination, limited intelligence, and limited rsources. Conservation of ingredients or effort is something an omniscient or omnipotent designer would have no reason for...particularly if the results are indistinguishable from what could happen with normal variations combined with natural selection. Heck, even a mortal genetic engineer can design a lifeform that was clearly designed.
I disagree, and I do not view god as " omni" anything. To claim a designer has no need for ingredients, is non sensical to me. god is a creator, he create things and repeatedly uses those things in other creating.
