In other words, you can't answer my question:
Why do you need to believe that all life shares a common ancestor to examine and compare the DNA of humans and other animals?

I'm pretty sure I did answer that question the first time you asked it, quite a long time ago.
I'm pretty sure you didn't answer that question ... all you did was make an assertion (re the use of cow and pig insulin in humans) ... no explanation was provided.
It isn't a question of "need".
The common ancestor is a fact. Nested hierarchies based on gross anatomy indicated common descent very long ago - and that fact was confirmed more recently by DNA.
We don't "need" it to be a fact but it is. We can't really do anything in biology without acknowleging the fact .
Here you go again ... making an assertion with no explanation in sight.
Explain why "We can't really do anything in biology without acknowleging the fact" of UCD.
Explain why cow and pig insulin would not have been used in humans without the "fact" of UCD.
- the evidence for that is the fact that deniers, like creationists, don't do anything in biology.
Hilarious. Many biologists are creationists.
What you mean is, no creationists are evolutionary biologists, who are the bullshit-artists, con-men and charlatans of the scientific community.

which improvement in the treatment of which disease has the "fact" of UCD provided? And explain how.
ringoat writes:
Cow and pig insulin improved the treatment of diabetes.
True, but as usual, you didn't answer my question.
We only thought of it because cows and pigs are related to us - i.e. we share a common ancestor with cows and pigs.
What a pity you can't cite even one scientific paper that says "We only thought of it because ... we share a common ancestor with cows and pigs."
Sadly, your baseless assertions are typical of the deceitful bullshit habitually excreted by Darwinoids.

YOU are the one who claims that nothing useful has ever come from the understanding of common descent. The use of cow and pig insulin is obviously useful and it is obviously based on the understanding of common descent. YOU are the one who needs to explain your claim that the obvious is not true. You have not said ONE WORD about what is wrong with the obvious explanation. All you have ever said was, "Nuh uh." Put up or shut up.
Dredge writes:
Explain why "We can't really do anything in biology without acknowleging the fact" of UCD.
You don't even understand that because we are related to cows and pigs, we have a common ancestor. Being related MEANS we have a common ancestor. You're agreeing with common descent in one sentence and disagreeing with it in the next sentence. You're contradicting yourself.
How can anybody explain anything to an idiot like you?
Dredge writes:

YOU explain why no creationist, no common-descent denier, has ever produced a useful idea about biology.

Perhaps you could clarify how this "cult of Darwinoids" hijacked science. Next, you could explain how the entire RCC selection process for a new Pope got hijacked by the evil one. After all, Jesus even said to Peter that the gates of hell would never prevail against His church.
It might help me if you shared some of the literature and source of thinking that you espouse.

Re: UCD evidence
Dredge writes:
So says Taq the Darwinoid con-man ... unfortunately for your lies, NONE of the scientists mentioned in the article said anything about our knowledge of toll-like receptors coming from UCD.
quote:
Two and a half years later, the idea of innate immunity in humans and its connections to defense in invertebrates had already taken hold. At least 150 scientists gathered at a National Academy of Sciences colloquium in Irvine, Calif., entitled “Virulence and Defense in Host-Pathogen Interactions: Common Features between Plants and Animals.” At the meeting, 12 researchers specifically discussed their work on toll in flies and “toll-like receptors”—as the mammalian versions are now known—and other aspects of innate immunity. Two dozen other scientists focused on patterns common to the insect and mammalian pathogens.

By March 2001, scientists had found 10 other human toll-like receptors, including toll-like receptor 2, which Shizuo Akira, MD, and colleagues at Osaka University showed responds to a particular sequence found in bacterial DNA but not in mammalian DNA. To get an idea of how fast the field has grown since 1997, a literature search for the term “toll-like receptor” in 2022 brought up more than 56,000 abstracts.

The evolutionary connections also awed researchers, as they eventually found toll-like molecules in worms, mice, even plants. Plant geneticist Santosh Misra, PhD, and colleagues at the University of Victoria in British Columbia genetically engineered antimicrobial peptides into potatoes to get the crops to withstand fungal infection. Protective compounds produced by plants could conceivably work as new classes of antibiotics in people as well.

I already answered that. We wouldn't expect to find any papers that say we couldn't have gotten to the moon without the theory of gravity. It's a silly demand.

Toll-like receptors were first discovered in fruit flies, and through common descent they were discovered in other species, including humans. Our knowledge of toll-like receptors are vital for understanding immunology, including our knowledge of how vaccines work.
Show me a single thing in the paragraph above that is not true.

Because you claim that the primary source of your "authoritative" argument comes from your covering through Gods True Church.
