196 THE EVOLUTION DECEIT
pointing out the obvious resemblances between the skeletons of the limbs of
different animals. Thus the "pentadactyl" limb pattern is found in the arm of
a man, the wing of a bird, and the flipper of a whale, and this is held to indi-
cate their common origin. Now if these various structures were transmitted
by the same gene couples, varied from time to time by mutations and acted
upon by environmental selection, the theory would make good sense. Unfor-
tunately this is not the case. Homologous organs are now known to be pro-
duced by totally different gene complexes in the different species. The
concept of homology in terms of similar genes handed on from a common
ancestor has broken down... 170
Another point is that in order for the evolutionary thesis regarding
homology to be taken seriously, the periods of similar structures' embry-
ological development-in other words, the stages of development in the egg
or the mother's womb-would need to be parallel, whereas, in reality, these
embryological periods for similar structures are quite different from each
other in every living creature.
To conclude, we can say that genetic and embryological research has
proven that the concept of homology defined by Darwin as "evidence of
the evolution of living things from a common ancestor" can by no means
be regarded as any evidence at all. In this respect, science can be said to
have proven the Darwinist thesis false time and time again.
Invalidity of the Claim of Molecular Homology
Evolutionists' advancement of homology as evidence for evolution is
invalid not only at the morphological level, but also at the molecular level.
Evolutionists say that the DNA codes, or the corresponding protein struc-
tures, of different living species are similar, and that this similarity is evi-
dence that these living species have evolved from common ancestors, or
else from each other.
In truth, however, the results of molecular comparisons do not work
in favour of the theory of evolution at all. There are huge molecular differ-
ences between creatures that appear to be very similar and related. For in-
stance, the cytochrome-C protein, one of the proteins vital to respiration, is
very different in living beings of the same class. According to research car-
ried out on this matter, the difference between two different reptile species
is greater than the difference between a bird and a fish or a fish and a mam-
mal. Another study has shown that molecular differences between some
