Is The Human Embryo Essentially A Fish With Gills?
Almost from the beginning, evolutionists have attempted to equate the process of evolution with the progressive development of the embryo. Durign the famous Scopes “Monkey Trial” in 1925, for example, lawyers and expert witnesses defending teaching Darwinism in public schools, repeatedly confused evolution with embryology. The lawyers even insisted that evolution must be taught if physicians are to understand the development of babies in the womb! The very word “evolution” (which means “unfolding”) was taken from the name of an early theory of embryonic development of the baby. Obviously the blind-chance process of Darwinian “evolution” has nothing whatever to do with the exquisitely-controlled process of embyological development. Still, evolutionists have long attempted to relate embryology to evolution, presumably in an effort to extrapolate the readily-observable process of embyronic development into the unabservable process of macroevolution. Embryology continues to play a role in
