Page 247 - Darwinism Refuted

Comparisons that have been made of
proteins, rRNA and genes reveal that
creatures which are allegedly close
relatives according to the theory of
evolution are actually totally distinct from
each other. Various studies grouped
rabbits with primates instead of rodents,
and cows with whales instead of horses.

As life is investigated on a molecular basis, the homology hypotheses
of the evolutionary theory collapse one by one. Molecular biologist
Jonathan Wells sums up the situation in 2000 in this way:
Inconsistencies among trees based on different molecules, and the bizarre
trees that result from some molecular analyses, have now plunged molecular
phylogeny into a crisis. 298

But in that case what kind of scientific explanation can be given for
similar structures in living things? The answer to that question was given
before Darwin's theory of evolution came to dominate the world of
science. Men of science such as Carl Linnaeus and Richard Owen, who
first raised the question of similar organs in living creatures, saw these
organs as examples of "common creation." In other words, similar organs
or similar genes resemble each other not because they have evolved by
chance from a common ancestor, but because they have been created to
perform a particular function.
Modern scientific discoveries show that the claim that similarities in
living things are due to descent from a "common ancestor" is not valid, and
that the only rational explanation for such similarities is "common creation."
