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,
                                                              they 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
