If common descent were true, there would be several things we would expect
Well, this might be interesting...
1. Gene creation. New genes would constantly arise, adding traits & variability.
The process is rather simple when you know gene duplication can and does happen, after which the duplicate can go on to become different from the original one through further mutation.
2. Fuzzy speciation. Organisms would share many common genetic structures. The ability to reproduce would be essential in transferring the DNA to new species.
How is that not exactly what we observe in the world? The boundaries between species can, at times, be so fuzy that there's actual debate about how to define "species"...
Exactly what one would expect, from a gradual process such as evolution.
3. Plug and play genetics. Genes would be identical, across organisms. Chromosome pairs would have many exact matches, in ancestral organisms.
"plug and play genetics"? Not sure what you mean by that.
In any case, exact cross-species matches are found all the time and actually form the very basis of phylogenetic trees. The magnitute of "shared dna" also matches expectations of how young or old the common ancestor is.
4. Obvious vestigiality. Remnants of descendancy would clearly be seen, not just speculated and imagined.
And it is.
To just a couple such obvious examples:
- unusable muscles to move ears in the direction of sound
- non-functioning eyes covered by a thick layer of skin (basically eyelids that can't be opened)
- tailbone (and what I can only call a tail in a fetus)
- goosebumps
5. Difficulty in narrowing breeds. If genes are constantly being 'created!', by some mysterious, undefined mechanism, low diversity levels would be impossible
1. there's nothing mysterious about the mutation known as gene duplication
2. diversity of species and variation within a species, are not the same thing. One thing I immediatly think off, when in a stable environment a species enters "local optimum" (ie: there are no more plausible evolutionary paths towards further improvement for the niche they are in), then diversity would be low, but every new generation will still be born with pretty much the same amount of variation. It's just that natural selection at that point, will favour the status quo.
New traits and abilities would constantly pop up, giving the organism more tools for adaptation. Extinction would be difficult.
Only if you ignore the fact that a gradual process like evolution can only work through the accumulation of micro-changes over many generation. Which is by definition rather slow, especially in more complex life with greater lifespans. So if environmental parameters (=selection pressures) change, they would have to change at a pace that gives the evolutionary process of life enough time for life to adapt to that new reality. If the changes are too drastic too quick, extinction follows.
6. Observable, repeatable experiments that show the ability of new gene creation, increases of genomic complexity (or decreases), and forcing, under laboratory conditions, the 'evolution' of new genetic structures.
Basically every agriculture program has covered this.
Then there's also the e-coli lab experiment, in which brandnew metabolic pathways evolved, giving one the populations access to a food source that none of the other populations (including their ancestors) could digest.
7. Chromosomes, genes, blood, organs, and other things that are unique to each genotype would be interchangeable and switchable.
Why?
Or perhaps first, what do you mean
exactly?
8. 'Missing Links', would be abundant, with transitional species constantly demonstrating the ability of organisms to evolve into more complex organisms.
First, the terminology "missing link", makes no sense. It's conceptual creationist, or at best sensationalist, jargon that has no meaning in the actual science.
Suppose you have datapoint A and C with "missing link" B for which there are no fossils.
Suppose we find B. Did you find the "missing link"? Not really. You found B, but in doing so, you just created 2 more gaps... between A and B and between B and C. So now that you found the one "missing link", you only thing accomplished is that now you need to find not one, but TWO more "missing links".
The correct term, would be a "transitional". A fossil that shares traits / features with ancestral species, as well as traits with its off spring, which isn't present in its ancestors.
And we got a ridiculous amount of those.
9. Other evidence, that allegedly proves the validity of this theory.
just so you know: in science, evidence
supports theories - it never
proves them.
If it is so plainly true, why is there no evidence for this common phenomena?
Ignoring the evidence doesn't make it disappear.
10. Reason and scientific methodology would be used to support the theory, instead of outrage, hysteria, and jihadist zeal.
The only outrage, hysteria and jihadist zeal I'm seeing when it comes to topic of evolution, is the outrage hysteria and jihadist zeal coming from fundamentalist theist who can't accept scientific explanations because it conflicts with their bronze age tale of makebelief.
My arguments do not hinge on my self image, my sexual preference, the schools i attended, nor my heritage.
It seems to me that any of the "10 arguments" in this post of yours, are rather hinged on good old ignorance of what the science actually is all about.
