All must bend to it? No! All who wish to speak and be informed about the subject must acknowledge and explain the data.

Common descent are parallel evolution explains why new world and old world vultures look similar, yet old world vultures maintain the morphological and molecular similarity that they have retained from their hawk fore-bearers.

What other explanation is there for this data other than a closer relationship between old world vultures and hawks than between new world vultures and old world vultures?

And they will produce after their own kind.
