Please note that "do work" is not a synonym for "Google Answers in Genesis".
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

No! Please, no. If anyone comes here with anything copied from one of those bullshit websites, they may as well blow their virtual brains out.
But it will take all of 2 seconds to point out how these "arguments" do not address what evolution actually says.

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.

It doesn't, but -if- there are two, then common descent as it stands is kaput. Easy peasy. Not that this will matter, because what's important here to our christard friends is their ability to believe that they are not descended from an ameoba (or some-such). Even showing two trees won't solve -that- problem, but it's fun to watch them try.
