THE MYTH OF HOMOLOGY

A nyone who studies the different living species in the world may

observe that there are some similar organs and features among these
species. The first person to draw materialistic conclusions from this
fact, which has attracted scientists' attention since the eighteenth
century, was Charles Darwin.
Darwin thought that creatures with similar (homologous) organs had
an evolutionary relationship with each other, and that these organs must
have been inherited from a common ancestor. According to his
assumption, both pigeons and eagles had wings; therefore, pigeons, eagles
and indeed all other birds with wings were supposed to have evolved
from a common ancestor.
Homology is a tautological argument, advanced on the basis of no
other evidence than an apparent physical resemblance. This argument has
never once been verified by a single concrete discovery in all the years
since Darwin's day. Nowhere in the world has anyone come up with a
fossil remain of the imaginary common ancestor of creatures with
homologous structures. Furthermore, the following issues make it clear
that homology provides no evidence that evolution ever occurred.
1. One finds homologous organs in creatures belonging to completely
different phyla, among which evolutionists have not been able to establish
any sort of evolutionary relationship;
2. The genetic codes of some creatures that have homologous organs
are completely different from one another.
