You can start, for example, by providing the "common sense reasons" that we should believe that a 'creator' would put the observed patterns of shared mutation in organisms.
Are you sure they are mutations? How can you tell if you didn't originally see those strands as they were begotten? Perhaps they were originally unmutated strands that were later subjected to excessive ultraviolet radiation and were both likely changed in similar manners. I can do the same thing with 2 identically programmed EEPROM chips and come out with similar observed (mutated) data by subjecting them to ultraviolet light for a set period of time. Similar strands are obviously a repetative design coming from a single style/process used at some type of inception. Repetative mutation in no way proves common ancestry one bit for holding a water-tight argument. It can however back the ID claim that they were originally designed similar at the beginning of inception. So, as you see, I now have more than 1 solution to your problem.
There are MANY observed phenomena that can't be explained rationally.
Obviously you "believe" you know the answer for the evolutionist's. So let's hear it!
I am a computer scientist. So your answer has to be PROVEN and unbiased. If you can't answer then you have no claims for your argument. So why bring up this topic in the first place if it can't be proven??
