The coolest thing about biology is that it's not just in every cell of your body, but every cell on life on earth.
But the funny thing about that is that the genes for say the 'helicase' looks like it was made by a copy machine, churned out by the millions, for every life on earth. But if you look very carefully, it's not a copy made from a master copy, but copied from each other. There are small mistakes made by this 'copy machine', so that you can trace the different generations of the copy of the 'helicase' based on what mistakes have been accumulated. You dig further, and you can map out different generations and make a tree like diagram. The further away from each other the two helicases are, the more mistakes have been accumulated.
You keep doing that for every life on earth, and you get something like this [1].
And then you dig further and realize that there is no Hand of God there, and creationism is a primitive explanation for something people didn't understand, like how lightning was God being angry.
