Recapitulation is not out. Organisms with similar bodyplans go through similar stages during development. And it's because development and bodyplans are controlled by the same genes.

Just got back from shooting my HK 9mm and Ruger 357. Though that's not a hint to start a new discussion. :-)

You say "Recapitulation is not out". That's part of the reason I'm still on the fence with this issue. I've heard many say it is out, and occasionally hear someone say it isn't. Some say vestigial organs are "out" while others don't. Still on the fence!

I doubt it. I wonder what's keeping you from reading the literature which will explain evolution properly? Have you read anything recent by Ernst Mayr or Stephen J. Gould?
