Evolution and the Catholic faith continued...Page 4
What is Haeckel's embryonic diagram? (continued)
He allegedly did a series of test in his laboratory, but in fact falsified some pictures
of the embryo developments from various fish, animals and humans at the early stage of
life. He compiled these pictures and published his findings to the scientific community.
All the embryos look the same along the top, as you can see if you have the illustration at
hand. This falsified evidence was accepted for many years as a fact and was used to promote
macro evolution.
Now philosophically speaking, the idea that people got into their head was that we humans
from conception went though the various evolutionary stages from our conception, as a simple
cell, to a tadpole, to a fish, to a amphibian, to a pig, to a monkey, to full human being.
Well that’s a general gist of Haeckel‘s theory. I have not the time to go into anything
further about it except to say that the idea of Haeckel's embryonic diagram has been dis-proven
by today’s science. In fact there is little in common between an embryo of a Human and that
of a fish.
What was the negative effect of Heackal’s embryonic diagram?
For the Catholic Church, this is plain and simple. Contraception got a foothold on the world
though this seemingly harmless idea. It seemed nonsensical to advocate a non contraceptive stance
in the 1960’s especially if at the early stages after conception, you are only a tadpole or a
fish for example. After all you are not exactly killing a human being are you? As some forms of
contraception inadvertently do? So it is clear from what I’ve just said, Heakal’s embryonic diagram,
which is in fact a hoax, owned up by the scientific community is a deadly dangerous idea.
Worse again, it is still used as evidence for macro evolution in school text books today.
Back to Creationism
Would you believe it if I demonstrated to you, a quick geological lab test that rocks and
geological strata can be produced rapidly and does not need millions of years to form. I will
now provide a simple and quick test. What do we need for this test. One empty glass, cooking
oil, rock salts and water. Pour all three elements into the empty glass, then let it all
settle. Now, look at the rock salts make their way to the bottom while the cooking oil fights
its way to the top, notice too the water finds its home in the middle. When all is settled,
you get a geological strata. Now the rock salt is heaviest and falls to the bottom and the
cooking oil is the lightest and goes to the top. Gravity determines what goes where and not
time in this instance.
