We are, I assme, talking about a creator postulated to be at least as
intelligent as we are!  It strikes me as strong evidence for a creator
if similar functions are performed by similar molecules in distinct
but similar animal/plant groups.

E.g.  I used TTL in the earliest computer interfaces I worked on,
and I used LSTTL in the most recent.  That doesn't mean the boards share
a common ancestor ( :-) ) but a common creator.

Why is it reasonable to assume a creator would come up with a workable
molecular system, such as the proteins and DNA/RNA and then not use it
every place he/she/it could?
