Do common structures within organisms really prove common descent?

>> No.8507351

>>8507247
Given the various additional facts they strongly support common descent as a scientific theory.

Fossil record requiring constant introduction of new species to exist in its current form.
Basic observable facts of inheritance and mutation.
Hybrids, Ring species, speciation.
Various vestigial traits or development pathways (I think development pathways would be the right way to say it. Think along the lines of subjecting an Axolotl to different conditions during development so that it develops past its default "larval" state).
The observable genetic distance (On correct homologous gene sequences that aren't subject to large selective pressure) between different species based on the constant statistical rate of mutation.

Those kinds of facts.

>>8507900
Those are distinct from homologies though and typically don't fulfill homology criteria.

Prove, no. But the alternatives would require a sequence of events of such staggeringly low probability that I think you would have to be willfully ignoring data to accept them.
