What about Human Fossils?
So, have paleontologists been able to unearth ancient fossils that would form a link between the apes
and modern man? Most fossils of men remain essentially the same as modern man, and some are really
a problem for the evolutionists.

Homology

Evolutions have other ways they seek to validate their theory.
One is an argument from homology or the similarity of
structures. For example, the bones of the forelimbs of a man,
horse, bat, whale, and dog share certain superficial structural
similarities. These similar structures are supposed to indicate
that their possessors all came from a common ancestor. This
is one of the most appealing arguments used by evolutionists
because it appears to be supported by visually observable
evidence that can be readily perceived.

However, if similarities show evolutionary relationships, then dissimilarities should conversely show a
lack of relationship. The rule must be consistently applied and not simply ignored, as evolutionists do
when the evidence conflicts with it. For example, the following structures are very similar to those in
humans: the octopus’s eye, pig heart, Pekingese dog’s face, milk of the donkey, and the pronator
quadratus muscle of the Japanese salamander. When considering red blood cells, man is more similar
to frogs, fish, and birds than to sheep. These homologies do not indicate close evolutionary
cx
relationships. The evolutionary tree of life separates the octopus and man widely!

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
design 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.
