[[I’m lead to believe that you think science has some value.]]

Absolutely!

[[But if scientific conclusions don’t support your opinions, they’re crap, right?]]

Golly Gomer- Read into statements much? Where di I state that? We KNOW from science that homological similarities do NOT a descendent make- It has been scientifically PROVEN that similarities can and DO arise from wholly disconnected biological systems between dissimilar species- which is precisely WHY homology can NOT be used as an argument for common descent- this isn’t ‘my opinion’- htis is established scientific fact- so apparently, IF my statements don’t agree with your a priori assumptions that homology shows descent, then apparently my statement- which again, isbased on scientific fact- must therefore be ‘crap’ in your opinion? Lol-

[[Also, why do you appear to RANDOMLY capitalize some WORDS?]]

They aren’t random- the whole concept behind capitalization is to give KEY WORDS the proper weight they desrve, and can imply menaing beyond the meaning- it’s a subtle way of saying more than what certain KEY WORDS appear to first indicate. You are free to read between the lines of my Capitalized words, but you are not free to ‘read between the lines’ and insinuate something that is not true as you did by insinuating that I think soemthing is ‘crap’ and falsely implying that I based that assumption simply on my own opinion when infact I state soemthing is not possible based on actual scientific conclusions.

Homology?

Vaguely worth studying....he is true to type.

So if as you've stated, “It has been scientifically PROVEN that similarities can and DO arise from wholly disconnected biological systems between dissimilar species”, then you clearly believe in convergent evolution and (gasp) Darwinism!

Side note - spell check is your friend.

Not particularly

You silly creationist. Don't you know what the definition of a homology is? Let me enlighten you with my superior scientific knowledge.

"Structures that are shared by species on the basis of decent from a common ancestor are called homologies. Homologies alone are reliable indicators of evolutionary relationship."

Yes you read that right, a homology is only a homology if it is due to common ancestry which then becomes proof of common ancestry. You probably can't even understand this superior scientific logic because you are a creationist.
