Section 16 - SIMILARITY IN ANATOMY

The fact that man is much like some animals in physical structure, is urged as a proof that he must have descended from the same ancestor. This argument is absolutely unanswerable, if you are sure that God could not use the same gen-eral pattern in making creatures to meet the same physical environment, and you are sure that man has not changed since he first appeared. Are you sure? (Isaiah 55:9)

Man has four limbs; so has an ape. What of it? Must God have a different BEST for every creature? I am willing to surrender right now, if someone who knows how God could not do as he thinks he did, will come forward and tell us how God could have made millions of forms and had them all so different that men with highly evolved brains would accept his statement of creation.
 
 

Vernon Kellogg (evolutionist), in describing "undoubtedly the lowest of all mammal forms," tells of certain animals that "deposit a single egg in an external pouch, and there it hatches." Why call it the "lowest form"? If life began in the amoeba for all of us, then evolution has had just as long to work on the pedigree of this beast as on mine. In what way have the animals that went higher gained any advantage? According to the contradictory program of evolution-ism, the "earlier" and "lower" forms of life laid anywhere from a hundred to ten million eggs, and as life went "UP" the ladder there were fewer and fewer babies. According to program, this one-egg mammal must be next to the very top. Evolution can go no higher than to take its favorites to where they refuse to have any babies.

How did this creature come to limit itself to one? Would that help the family survive? How did it originate that egg pocket? If it happened in one generation it was CREATION. If it took many generations, then it developed while it could not be used and this is neither in accord with evolution nor with nature as we know it.

Did the animal evolve a pocket incubator by trying for a thousand generations to find a place to put its egg, or did it hit upon the plan of laying an egg because it had a pocket with nothing to put in it? Perhaps it held the egg up against the place where a pocket was desired till the pocket "came out to meet the need."

If you believe this, you can qualify as a "Mother Goose" enthusiast.

If this creature is an ancient "transitional form," a kind of a station where the creatures change cars, why did the higher" creatures get rid of this portable hatchery? Isn't it the handiest baby arrangement on earth? Do evoluters predict that other "lower" forms will get this arrangement before they need it and lose it while they are using it?
