I am a creationist. So as you might expect, I think the God who created used similar building blocks in the various kinds that were created.

Why would an omniscient and omnipotent being confine itself to one design format? Surely it would not require any 'extra effort' on God's part to make each organism's instruction format radically different, which would incidentally make common descent wildly implausible. Do you think God wants us to think all the organisms we've discovered so far are a product of common descent?

Here, Brian, I will set you up for a good one.

Brian, you are wrong, as I did not become a Christian until I was 19.

You can thank me later. Shy

You didn't learn anything about Christianity until you were 19? That's quite unusual, I'd love to hear the story behind that. Were your parents atheists?

For a social species, the ability to reach consensus can be more important to reproductive success in many cases than whether the consensus is correct.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
