I wouldn't say EvC has changed my beliefs, but it has changed the depth of my knowledge in a lot of things.
When I first started lurking here I really didn't grasp how strong the case for common descent really is. I thought it was mostly a question of fossil evidence (which I thought was convincing of course)... but I came to understand that there are lines of evidence derived from a wide array of different (and often independent) scientific disciplines, and put quite simply I went from thinking the evidence is pretty strong to thinking it's pretty much undeniable.
