Compelling evidence for common descent from comparison of redundant DNA

I read Glen Morton's book which alerted me to a compelling argument for common
descent. I pursued this point further and looked up a lot of DNA sequences and
did my own comparisons and discovered compelling evidence for common descent
which made me make the transition to theistic evolution which I documented in
an article (http://members.aol.com/SHinrichs9/descent/descent.htm) on my web
site in case you are interested.
