Yes Christine, I’ve heard that one. along with the one where you take a frog, add millions of years, and get a prince. But I think that’s called science now. And I have to give it to you, you are by far the most disingenuous person I have ever met on the web. It was you that challenged the hippo-whale thesis, and you obviously checked none of the references I gave you. You merely state that the problem is with my ability to read and comprehend. What a facile and childish, not to mention empty response. That’s just your way of refusing to admit you were wrong. And YOU are revising a textbook. God help us. You who can’t even check a reference, admit a mistake, or recognize scientific error or fraud when you see it. You must be friends with realthog, you know, the person who’s written over 70 books but can’t name one for me to check out. You are an embarrassment to the entire scientific enterprise, with your juvenile responses. Let me give you a glaring example why you should never be allowed near a science textbook: your defense of Haeckel’s embryo’s. You seem to think he just made a few adjustments, nothing major, a tweak here or there. Then you justify his actions by applauding the supposed results he got, then make a completely erroneous claim about embryonic similarities, the so-called recapitulation theory. Here’s what Haeckel did (this all comes from evolutionary texts, articles, or quotes)
