Design and Nested Hierarchies

@Chris_Falter

It seems to me that you felt like you couldn’t come up with an answer to the DNA sequence nested hierarchy, so you switched over to an area where you thought you had a “design” explanation. But a careful examination of the details shows that your “design” explanation is unsatisfactory with respect to wings also.

At they end of the day this argument does not support unguided common descent. There are too many contradictions in the tree. Common descent is, however, a partial explanation for the structure.
