Sorry, the notion of universal common descent (of every organism from a single, or few putative ancestors, including human from earlier non-human ancestors) is not evidence, it is an interpretation of evidence.

By that standard, a film can never constitute evidence of motion. Motion would only be one interpretation from what is, ultimately, just a series of still photographs.

Help me out here. By definition, a film IS a "motion picture". The evidence for universal common descent is argument by definition?

Cordially,
