science and the Bible by Bolton Davidbetser, Chairman, Science Division, BMa Collage S w > 1 « c U ok attcC &Mtfe contemporaneous shells may appeal so much alike externally that they have been considered to belong to the same genus or even to the same species. An examination of their in ternal structure has often revealed such differences between the two as to compel the belief that one form was descended by modification from an ancestor quite different from that of the other. . . .” Wood-Rutgers says, “ One of the most striking convergences in parallel evolution is that between the woolly rhinoceros and the living white rhinoceros of Africa. The resembl ance, especially in skull and teeth, is so close that it long seemed incon- trovertable that they were extremely closely related. This now appears not to be the case.” Professor R. R. Gates concludes, “ It will seem that parallelisms occur plentifully in whatever direction we look.” According to Professor Alfred Romer, “The known presence of parallelism in so many cases and its suspected presence in others suggests that it may have been an almost uni versal phenomenon.” But the challenge of seeking for evidence which will discredit evolu tion in the minds of evolutionists is like chasing a will-o’-the-wisp, for when the evidence is found it is con veniently covered by terms like paral lelism and convergence and it is in corporated into the old theory with out the least bit of embarrassment. In one of his textbooks Professor Romer says, . . strange as it may seem, a cow is, for example, probably as closely related to a lion as to a horse.” A recent book on the micro scopic protozoa quotes and agrees with another author who said that one protozoan might be more closely related to an oak tree than to another protozoan which it resembles. Admissions of this kind are now made frankly and glibly, apparently because the authors are so certain that the public is completely sold on the idea that evolution is a fact. For anyone else this seems like rather damaging evidence against t h e theory. of evolution is that of comparative anatomy. This means that similari ties in the structures of different ani mals indicate an evolutionary rela tionship; the greater the similarity the closer the relationship. Concerning this, Professor H. H. Newman of the University of Chicago said, “ . . . the only postulate the evolutionist needs is no more or less than a logical extension of what the layman considers a truism or self- evident fact, namely that fundamen tal structural resemblance signifies genetic relationship; that, generally speaking, the degree of closeness of structural resemblance runs essential ly parallel with closeness of kinship.” He continued, “Most biologists would say that this is not merely a postu late but one of the best established laws of life. . . . If we cannot rely upon this . . . we can make no pro gress in any attempt to establish the validity of the principle of evolu tion.” Professor T. H. Morgan of the University of California said, “ . . . if, then, it can be established beyond dis pute that similarity or even identity of the same character in different species is not always to be interpreted to mean that both have arisen from a common ancestor, the whole argu ment f r o m comparative anatomy seems to tumble in ruins.” The words of these two outstanding evolutionists of a generation ago seem to mean that if even one case could be found in which similarity in struc ture between two kinds of animals did not show closeness of evolution ary relationship, the evidence of comparative anatomy would become invalid, and furthermore, that all t h e other evidences of evolution might also become invalid at the time. This is quite a challenge, and anyone interested in this problem is likely to be motivated to hunt for examples of such cases. Actually, they are not hard to discover for they occur in abundance.
