Does “same genetic code” mean “same ancestor?” (CT Scan, Episode 76)
Most living things share the same genetic code. Does that mean they also share the same ancestor(s)? Textbooks often say so. However, it’s now clear that the genetic code is not universal, as evolutionists once believed, leading some evolutionists to suggest there is no “tree of life” after all. Let’s see how to view the not-so-universal genetic code through a biblical lens.
