Homology Discussion
nCreationists regard organisms as constructed
on a common plan (i.e. designed for similar purpose)
nDarwin explained homology on the basis of the
“theory of descent with slow and slight modifications”
nThe evolutionist’s explanation attributes homologous features to similar genes
inherited from a common
ancestor
nDarwin’s followers later redefined homology
to mean
“similarity due to common ancestry”
nThis leads to
circular reasoning
nSome similar
structures are not acquired through common ancestry – e.g. octopus eye and human eye
