The Errors of the American National Academy of Sciences
plex one with more features is to believe in the impossible. In
order to prove the evolutionist claims, every transitional stage be-
tween myoglobin and hemoglobin needs to be functional (and
more advantageous than the preceding stage), and that is impossi-
ble.
The American chemist Dr. Robert Kofahl, a critic of the theory
of evolution, makes the following comment on the impossibility of
the claim that hemoglobin evolved from myoglobin:
A good example of alleged molecular homology is afforded by
the a- and b- haemoglobin molecules of land vertebrates, includ-
ing man. These supposedly are homologous with an an-
cestral myoglobin molecule similar
to human myoglobin.
Two a- and two b-
haemoglobin as-
sociate together
to form the
marvelous
human hemo-
globin molecule
that carries oxygen
and carbon dioxide
in our blood. But
myoglobin acts
as single mole-
cules to trans-
port oxygen in
our muscles.
