What is Universal Common Descent?

Hi George
I am new to BioLogos but have found the discussion to be very considerate and helpful.

I have studied the science of the ID community and appreciate their work but find that their conclusion is limited.

I have really enjoyed my discussions with Joshua in the past. Although we don’t always agree, I find his thinking to be interesting and challenging. I believe the theory of evolution as presented in the textbooks is ahead of the science.

IMHO this should be cleaned up and not used as an ideological tool in the classroom. I believe God is the creator of the universe and evolution is not a hinderance to my belief. I believe the theory should be rigorously tested for scientific validity which includes questioning 150 year old inferences like UCD.
