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,
