Sounds like you believe God is ultimately behind life.

Yep. It's just that it can't possibly be the way YE creationism invented it.

If so, then we're on the same page.

Your "pre-existing creation" phrase threw me.

If your "pre-existing creation" was created by God, then I agree:

Welcome to theistic evolution.

Yeah,

Well I don't agree that whales came from land mammals and I don't think birds are all that are left of dinosaurs, but I certainly agree with what I stated above. And please, I don't want to debate whales and dinos again. ;)

Seems hard to explain all the transitional whales without that.

and I don't think birds are all that are left of dinosaurs

Ditto for that. And that immunological evidence that shows dinosaurs are more closely related to birds than to modern reptiles.

Keeps coming back to common descent.
