The Myth of Homology
Structural similarities between different species are called "homol-
ogy" in biology. Evolutionists try to present those similarities as evidence
for evolution.
Darwin thought that creatures with similar (homologous) organs had
an evolutionary relationship with each other, and that these organs must
have been inherited from a common ancestor. According to his assump-
tion, both pigeons and eagles had wings; therefore, pigeons, eagles, and in-
deed all other birds with wings were supposed to have evolved from a
common ancestor.
Homology is a deceptive argument, advanced on the basis of no other
evidence than an apparent physical resemblance. This argument has never
once been verified by a single concrete discovery in all the years since Dar-
win's day. Nowhere in the world has anyone come up with a fossil remain
of the imaginary common ancestor of creatures with homologous struc-
tures. Furthermore, the following issues make it clear that homology pro-
vides no evidence that evolution ever occurred.
1. One finds homologous organs in creatures belonging to completely
different phyla, among which evolutionists have not been able to establish
any sort of evolutionary relationship;
2. The genetic codes of some creatures that have homologous organs
are completely different from one another.
3. The embryological development of homologous organs in different
creatures is completely different.
Let us now examine each of these points one by one.

Similar Organs in Entirely Different Living Species
There are a number of homologous organs shared by different groups
among which evolutionists cannot establish any kind of evolutionary rela-
tionship. 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 re-
lationship or kinship among those four different groups of animals.
Another striking example is the amazing resemblance and the struc-
tural similarity observed in the eyes of different creatures. For example, the
octopus and man are two extremely different species, between which no
