Creation also predicts that species and DNA structures are similar, because they have a common Designer.
Also, a smart God would create all creatures out of the same DNA code, because otherwise, we would not be able to eat each other.

Actually, creationism doesn't predict anything. It's supporters may accept that DNA is similar between species because they feel it may fit in with creationist assertions, but creation "theory" did not predict such similarities.
How do you know we couldn't eat species with a different type of DNA coding? As you have no species with a different type of coding to experiment upon, you can't support that claim.
Your god is an idiot.
If we were designed (which I don't believe for a second) then why is it that our most self-destructive impulses are the ones that give us the most reward? Eating, alcohol and drugs, sex... when done to extremes are fatal to us.
It's like your god wired us to do ourselves in. Then he has the balls to tells us (according to the Bible) that we should deny ourselves pretty much all that feels good.
What an asshole.
Considering we can eat non-organic substances (check the more exotic ingredients of a Twinkie, for instance - one of them has to be mined ), DNA obviously does not come into it.
The rest of your argument is wrong, too.
"Also, a smart God would create all creatures out of the same DNA code, because otherwise, we would not be able to eat each other."
So your god is painfully unimaginative when it comes to designing digestive systems? You must have a very low opinion of your god.
this is how it seems to have worked out...
Science learns and discovers things.
Until then everything unexplainable to man, according to the fundies, is summed up by "goddidit"
Once science has found the real reason, the fundies just claim that their god designed it to appear that way.
LOLOLOL how can you just flat out steal and claim what people have worked so hard on their whole lives? And then have the audacity to say some sky fairy did it.
that fucking disgusts me.
What creation does not explain is why the DNA of all animals exists in a perfect tree, where we share many similarities with our closest relatives, and less so with relatives further on.
Why we can look at exactly where a particular DNA sequence appeared, and see that sequence only ever appears in animals (or plants) that are descended from the same common ancestor, and never outside that ancestor's tree.
A creator using "common design, common designer" would use the same DNA sequence across multiple animals without structuring it into a perfect tree.
1. no, god has no obligation to make DNA match as much as evolution actually predicts. by doing it, he would be a: stupid or b: deceptive.
2. no, DNA is digested and broken down once eaten. any more questions?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
