Does biology need the theory that all life shares a common ancestor?

Creationists tend to turn conversations into “EVOLUTION IS A RELIGION!!11!” when they can no longer address the evidence. It’s a way of trying to smear the messenger so that people will ignore the message.

Evolution is no different than any other theory in science.[quote=“Al-Khalil, post:318, topic:35756”]
They don’t seem overly occupied with Darwin, though, and the term “Darwinist” doesn’t really seem to fit anyone here, except perhaps like one biologist above who seems to think “Darwinism” means simply “natural selection” & “common descent.” It will likely take biologists pushing back against each other, as some have done, and as the Third Way and Extended Evolutionary Synthesis is curiously starting to do, to get Darwinist ideology cleansed from their ranks.

The EES is nothing more than flashy salesmanship. When you look at the actual science of EES it falls apart pretty quick.
