I don't think creationism makes a positive statement about number four. But I am inclined to believe that the creator/designer inflicted a great deal of pain and suffering with his botched designs. They are remarkable bits of engineering -- no doubt about that -- but show no regard for the well being of individuals, as opposed to species.

I don't think creationism makes a positive statement about number four. [There must surely be at least one species, and probably several, having no genetic similarities with any other life on earth.]

True. But it's inferred. A weak inference, perhaps. If each species were a unique creation, there is no reason at all for each to be so similar to the others in their molecular structure.

According to christian theology, this world has been running down since the Fall. I see evidence of this all day and no evidence of building upwards.
