So I had a nice response typed up, and wikia swallowed it.

So, why is it unreasonable that one thing can turn into another over billions (billions is so long no one can even comprehend it...) of years, especially given the evidence that practically all life on earth uses the same very complicated way to reproduce; DNA. I am led to the only logical conclusion; That there is a common ancestor.

As to the Dead Sea Scrolls, there are two things. Because they are jewish, they still are derived from the original texts written down in Babylon. Therefore, the stories are going to have similarities. The other thing is that those scrolls are partial, and so some content has to be inferred by biblical scholars.
