3. The embryological development of homologous organs in different
creatures is completely different.
Let us now examine each of these points one by one.

The Invalidity of Morphological Homology
The homology thesis of the evolutionists is based on the logic of
building an evolutionary link between all living things with similar
morphologies (structures), whereas there are a number of homologous
organs shared by different groups that are completely unrelated to each
other. Wings are one example. In addition to birds, we find wings on bats,
which are mammals, and on insects and even on some dinosaurs, which
are extinct reptiles. Not even evolutionists posit an evolutionary
relationship or kinship among those four different groups of animals.
Another striking example is the amazing resemblance and the
structural similarity observed in the eyes of different creatures. For
example, the octopus and man are two extremely different species,
between which no evolutionary relationship is likely even to be proposed,
yet the eyes of both are very much alike in terms of their structure and
function. Not even evolutionists try to account for the similarity of the

According to the "tree of life" proposed by evolutionists, octopuses are some
of the remotest creatures from man. But the octopus eye has exactly the same
structure as ours. This is an indication that similarity of structure is no
evidence for evolution.
