Agreed.
Sure! I'll give you my current favourite example of evidence for evolution and common descent.
Retroviruses are viruses that reproduce by inserting their genetic information into host cells which then replicate.
When these viruses infect reproductive cells, their genetic information is passed on to the progeny of the host. This results in the presence of retroviral rna in our human genetic code. Junk dna from a foreign organism.
The interesting thing is that we’ve been able to map the genome of other animals. For instance, the chimpanzee. When we look at the chimp’s dna we find, to an astonishing degree, the same retroviral genetics in the same places that we find them in human dna.
So why is there useless, inactive junk genetic information in our genome that corresponds so well to that of chimps? Evolution tells us that it is because of common decent. That humans and chimpanzees evolved from a common ancestor that also had that retroviral rna in those places.
If you espouse a creation model, you must then explain why a creator might include useless, garbage genetic information in the same places in different species.
