of tendonitis. Wilson et al. suggest that the very short muscle fibres protect
both bones and tendons from fatigue damage by damping out
vibrations… 309

In short, a closer look at the anatomy of the horse revealed that the
structures that have been considered as nonfunctional by evolutionists
have very important functions.
In other words, scientific progress demonstrated that what was
considered to be evidence for evolution is in fact evidence for creation.
Evolutionists should be objective and evaluate scientific findings
reasonably. The Nature article comments as follows:
Wilson et al. have found an important role for a muscle that seemed to be the
relic of a structure that had lost its function in the course of evolution. Their
work makes us wonder whether other vestiges (such as the human
appendix) are as useless as they seem. 310
This is not surprising. The more we learn about nature, the more we
see the evidence for creation. As Michael Behe notes, "the conclusion of
design comes not from what we do not know, but from what we have
learned over the past 50 years." 311 And Darwinism turns out to be an
argument from ignorance.

The Recapitulation Misconception
What used to be called the "recapitulation theory" has long been
eliminated from scientific literature, but it is still being presented as a
scientific reality by some evolutionist publications. The term
"recapitulation" is a condensation of the dictum "ontogeny recapitulates
phylogeny," put forward by the evolutionary biologist Ernst Haeckel at
the end of the nineteenth century.
This theory of Haeckel's postulates that living embryos re-experience
the evolutionary process that their pseudo-ancestors underwent. He
theorized that during its development in its mother's womb, the human
embryo first displayed the characteristics of a fish, and then those of a
reptile, and finally those of a human.
It has since been proven that this theory is completely bogus. It is
now known that the "gills" that supposedly appear in the early stages of
the human embryo are in fact the initial phases of the middle-ear canal,
