From the viewpoint of a Christian who accepts the Biblical account of creation in Genesis, one would
expect that many creatures of God’s creation would have a lot of similarities. God created the eye from
simple to very complex. Placing similar eyes into the various animals He created validates that there
was ONE creator and designer of the eye. His designed
worked for both man and animal. Homology illustrates
that the same God created everything, and it was very
good. Once God decided on a blueprint, He used the
same blueprint within his Creation.
Hominids
Evolutionists have created a family within their
taxonomical system called Hominidae. In this family, the
include humans (Homo sapiens) and their fossil ancestors
and also, in recent systems, at least some of the great
apes. Throughout the last 170 years, various finds of
skulls, partial skulls, jaw bones, and even teeth have been
acclaimed as the missing link between ape and man. Here
is a list of hominids, and how old the evolutionists dated
them:
Specimen Classification Assigned Age
Neanderthal Homo sapiens (man) 35 – 70 thousand years
Swanscombe Homo sapiens .25 - .6 MY (million years)
Pithecanthropus erectus ape - like .5 MY
Australopithecus africanus ape – like 4.4 MY
Zinjanithropus ape-like 1.75 MY
Skull 1470 man-like 2.8 MY
Ethiopean jaw man-like 3-4 MY
Castenedolo Homo sapiens 2 + MY
Do you see a problem? Notice that the apparent age of
the specimens doesn’t match the evolutionary tree. One
skull and a jaw that are man-like are dated older than
some of the ape-like specimens in the line of human
evolution. If you carefully examine the supposed “missing
links” between the evolution of apes to men, you basically
come up with two classifications. The fossil was a man or
man-like or the fossil was an ape or ape-like.
Let’s go back to the introduction where there were
models of busts of various specimens who evolved from
ape to man. The only models that had reliable fossils to
support them were the first one, the ape, and the last
one, the man. Artist with amazing talents and ingenious
minds sculped them from their preconceived ideas about how man evolved from an ape. Next time you
go to the natural history museum in your area, you may see an entire display of an ape-man,
