But the essential blow to this evolutionary claim comes from
molecular biology. The “pentadactyl homology” hypothesis, long
defended in evolutionary publications, collapsed with the discovery
that different genes controlled the digit structure in different crea-
tures displaying the pentadactyl structure! As evolutionary biologist

William Fix explains;
The older textbooks on evolution make much of the idea of ho-
mology, pointing out the obvious resemblances between the
skeletons of the limbs of different animals. Thus the “pen-
tadactyl” limb pattern is found in the arm of a man, the wing of
a bird, and flipper of a whale—and this is held to indicate their
common origin. Now if these various structures were transmit-
ted by the same gene couples, varied from time to time by mu-
tations and acted upon by environmental selection, the theory
would make good sense. Unfortunately this is not the case.
Homologous organs are now known to be produced by totally
different gene complexes in the different species. The concept
of homology in terms of similar genes handed on from a com-
mon ancestor has broken down... 32

Evolutionists claim that genetic similarities derive from evolu-
tionary development. However, when “biochemical similarities” are
considered as a whole, they are seen to refute the alleged family tree
that constitutes the backbone of claims supporting the theory of evo-
lution. (For detailed information, see The Secrets of DNA, by Harun
Yahya.)
That molecular verification does not support evolutionary the-
ory is expressed in an article by Elizabeth Pennisi, “Is It Time to
Uproot the Tree of Life?” published in Science magazine in 1999.
