I suggest you address the hanging questions in other threads before you start new ones. Furthermore, I suggest you refrain from pasting PRATTs as new threads. If it is a Point Refuted a Thousand Times, then it behooves you to find out why this is.

The biogenetic law is not Darwinism. Poking holes in the biogenetic law is easy to do, it's been done repeatedly in the scientific literature, and it does not damage modern evolutionary biology at all.

What's more, in trying to emphasise the differences in embryological stages, Wells (the one responsible for this particular PRATT) neglects the similarities. Molecular biology has been showing us that there is a greater degree of similarity between species than previously suspected; this can be seen in studies done on hox genes (pattern-forming genes).

What I venture to ask here is how anyone could ever have been fooled in the first place.


This is what I was asking myself when I was reading the answersingenesis site. If you'd like me to provide evidence from there of how people are being fooled, I can give it in abundance.
