babies undergo in seven months all the evolution which took millions of years

That is a myth. They are not gill slits.
Go to http://www.rae.org/gillslit.html (whence the following)
But what about the infamous "gill slits" shown in Haeckel's sketches? A modern medical text states:
"The pharyngeal arches and clefts are frequently referred to as branchial arches and branchial clefts in anology with the lower vertebrates, [but] since the human embryo never has gills called 'branchia', the term pharyngeal arches and clefts has been adopted for this book." (13)
In an introductory text on creation science, biologist Dr. Gary Parker explains:
"The throat (or pharyngeal) grooves and pouches, falsely called "gill slits" are not mistakes in human development. They develop into absolutely essential parts of human anatomy. The middle ear canals come from the second pouches, and the parathyroid and thymus glands come from the third and fourth... another pouch, thought to be vestigial by evolutionists until just recently, becomes a gland that assists in calcium balance. Far from being useless evolutionary vestiges, then, these so-called "gill slits" are quite essential for distinctively human development." (14

False. As the baby's face develops, there are folds that appear to be gills to the uneducated people who first saw either aborted fetuses or were able to look inside the female womb.

All mammals seemingly have gill slits in their very early embryo development. We call this ontogeny recapitulating phylogeny...where the development of the individual goes through some of the characteristics of the animals lower in
the evolutionary development. It seem to be because we are a product of evolutionary development. This is a complicated concept though. A very basic Wikipedia discussion below.

Pharyngeal pouches not gill slits.

Ontogeny doesn't necessarily recapitulate phylogeny.
Or does it?
You're making us look bad.
