Banging head on brick wall...
::::::::::::: So instead of proposing better wording, you instead go off on a tangent and launch an attack on the view that you disagree with. Further, you criticise the admins here for supposedly being unwilling to change their views, when I'd be quite certain that ''you'' are just as unwilling to change ''your'' views. As you are unwilling to discuss the issue further, and have not proposed better neutral wording, I'll revert your pro-evolution wording back to the more neutral wording that was there before. And by the way, universal common descent is a ''hypothesis'', not a ''fact'' that needs explaining. [[User:Philip J. Rayment|Philip J. Rayment]] 21:26, 27 March 2008 (EDT)

::::::::::::: I've further modified the wording to hopefully make clearer just what the similarity is. [[User:Philip J. Rayment|Philip J. Rayment]] 21:46, 27 March 2008 (EDT)

::::::::::::::AHHHRGH! The better wording was the first one. Common descent really is a scientific fact, attested to by overwhelming evidence and supported by all biologists and even the ID crowd, in the same way that gravity is. A wording that suggests evidence recovered by methodologies specifically designed to uncover relationships shows anything other than a relationship is somewhere between mealy mouthed an lying. If conservapedia wants to be a YEC wiki then just say it out loud. ATM it purports to be resource for, among others, home schooled kids and if this is what they are served then we are doing them a great disservice.
