The Designogenetic Tree of Life

Comprehensive Designogenetic Tree of Life

This Designogenetic Tree represents a detailed classification of life, incorporating various groups to provide a holistic view of biodiversity. Each "kind" is represented at the family level within the traditional taxonomic hierarchy, allowing for diversity and adaptation within defined boundaries. This tree is meant to be a contrast to the phylogenetic tree of life that assumes common descent vs common design.

This tree is also the foundation of the earlier published feasibility study of Noah's Ark.
