In fact, however, a scientific explanation for similar struc-
tures among living things had been made before Darwinism
came to dominate the scientific world. Natural scientists such
as Carl Linnaeus and John Ray regarded the matter of simi-
lar characteristics among living things as an example of com-
mon creation. In other words, organs were similar not be-
cause they had evolved from a common ancestor, but be-

cause they had been created individually to serve a specific
purpose. Modern scientific discoveries have confirmed
this. 174
Clearly, the classification of living things cannot be used
as evidence in favor of evolution. For exam-
ple, in his book Evolution: A Theory in
Crisis, Professor Michael Denton exam-
ined this claim in the light of the sci-
entific data and concluded that the

hierarchical structure was no proof of
evolution. 175
