Deflecting about what? It's just a fact that all biological organisms share similarities that have no connections to supernatural intervention by various gods. Molecular sequences, however, provide irrefutable evidence demonstrating the genealogical similarities that connect all life. The study of molecular sequences allow for very precise probability calculations that show just how well defined the predictions of common descent with modification actually match empirical and observational data. Common descent is a deduction that directly follows from observed data based on population studies.
Quaint cartoon stories are a poor substitute for observational data.
