EVOLUTIONISTS' CONFESSIONS
REGARDING THE INVALIDITY OF
HOMOLOGY
E fforts to provide proof of the theory of evolution have included
E
the interpretation of similarities among living things as evidence
of some common ancestor. On the basis of this mythical tale of
the horse that evolutionists have invented, all similarities between life
forms have been interpreted as evidence of an evolutionary relationship.
Of course similarities between living things are not evidence for evolu-
tion. In order to be able to make such a claim, evolutionists need to be able to
explain how that evolution came about, and to provide evidence for it. It will
be useful to recall here that not a single intermediate form that might repre-
sent evidence for the claim in question has ever been found, and that evolu-
tionists are unable to account for the emergence of even a single protein.
Moreover, scientific discoveries made over the last 20 to 30 years show
that resemblances between life forms constitute no evidence for the theory
of evolution:
1- There are homologous (similar-looking) organs even between classes
between which evolutionists cannot trace any familial relationship,
2- The genetic information in bodies of different life forms with simi-
lar organs is based on very different genetic codes, and
3- These organs are very different from one another during the course
of embryological development. This shows that homology provides no ba-
sis for evolution.
These similar structures in very different life forms, among which no
evolutionary links can be established, represent a serious problem for evo-
lutionists. Indeed, they frequently refer to the discomfort this causes them:
