Refuting Evolution 2 A sequel to Refuting Evolution that refutes
the latest arguments to support evolution (as presented by PBS
and Scientific American). Argument: Common design points to
common ancestry Evolutionists say, ‘Studies have found amazing
similarities in DNA and biological systems—solid evidence that
life on earth has a common ancestor.’ First published in
Refuting Evolution 2 Common structures = common ancestry? In
most arguments for evolution, the debater assumes that common
physical features, such as five fingers on apes and humans,
point to a common ancestor in the distant past. Darwin mocked
the idea (proposed by Richard Owen on the PBS dramatization of
his encounter with Darwin) that common structures (homologies)
were due to a common creator rather than a common ancestor. But
the common Designer explanation makes much more sense of the
findings of modern geneticists, who have discovered just how
different the genetic blueprint can be behind many apparent
similarities in the anatomical struc
