Now comes the case for evolution before the court to proclaim that different animals must be related. The good part of them have in common four limbs, two eyes, two ears, a nose, a heart, lungs, a liver, circulating blood, etc.
So, surely we can see they are related.
This, truly, is one of the strong arguments for evolution. If they are not related, why then do they have such commonalities? These things suggest relation, and evolution.
Though it is a good argument, there are at least two possible answers. One, God used the tools He was used to using. He knew if he gave them hearts and blood, it would be a way of providing necessary functions to the body. He knew if He gave them four limbs, they would be able to walk and grasp and such. Giving them mouths provided a way for eating, drinking, making vocal noises . . .
And, breathing. That's right, we can breathe out of our mouths, so why do we all have noses, as well? That we do share the nose in common might seem to indicate we are all related, evolution is behind it all. But, then again, if breathing through the mouth is possible, why didn't some mammals evolve without noses?
The other possible answer, as to why there are so many commonalities if God is creator, is that this type of life requires such things. It is not just that God gave them these commonalities because they were His habits when He did His creating, but, rather, they are necessities. This theory seems somewhat unlikely, to me, but it is still a theory to consider.
As I reach the end of my reasoning, for the time being, I see the explanations of evolution do have more power this time around than do the possible answers from those that hold that creatures are not related through evolution.
