| The evolutionary hypothesis is claimed to be supported by which six areas? |
|
Definition
1. Comparative Anatomy- similarities between man and animal vertebrae; but similarities suggest a common creator, not ancestor; if we partake of same air, food, etc, we should be somewhat similar
2. Vestigial Organs- some organs were useful at one point, but aren't anymore (appendix, tonsils, etc.); however, we don't know that these organs are actually useless, science is forever improving
3. Embryology- human fetus develops in similarities to worm, fish, etc.; however there are too many dissimilarities to suggest parallels
4. Bio-Chemistry- living organism are similar in their biological makeup; expected because all organisms depend on similar acids, proteins
5. Paleontology- missing links, continuity of fossils; this could be because of the flood; there is no such a link that can be proven
6. Genetics- there are mutations, but they are too small to be useful; no transmutations on the fruit fly experiment; changes tend to make organism less suitable for their environment |
