Patterns and Tautologies (The Circular Logic of Homologies)

Circular reasoned? That's real nice, honey. Who needs adverbs, anyway?

The same. We're waiting to find our rabbit in the Precambrian, so we can change our basic view, but it hasn't happened yet.The thing is, if the basic evolutionary view were wrong, such anomalies should have cropped up long ago in their hundreds. Strange, eh? The creator must have been trying to make it look as though evolution was the story. As for homologies, they sometimes illustrate common descent very well. For example, there are in fact millions of possible genetic "codes" that could be used by nature or a designer to make life, but all known life just uses variations on the same code, a fact that is hard to explain without common descent. Again, a creator could have been restricting himself in order to give an appearance of common descent, to make it look as though evolution was the story.That evolutionary thinking on homologies is not circular is probably best illustrated by examples of different organisms having similarities that they need not have.
