Whale Evolution (Classroom Series)
2 views
Natural history museums and school textbooks promote the idea that whales evolved from any number of possible mammal ancestors. This list includes bears, mesonychids, hyena-like creatures, hippo-like creatures, cat-like creatures, wolf-like creatures, deer-like creatures, and lion-like creatures. Over the years, evolutionists have proposed four different mammal orders as the possible starting place for whales. The supposed chain of whale evolution includes many creatures, such as Artiodactyl, Pakicetus, Rodhocetus, Dorudon, and others. Does this theory align with the evidence, or does the biblical explanation better fit the data?

- And the American Museum of Natural History says it was like a lion. And you're saying that these hip bones here are evolutionary leftovers whenever the whales would walk on land.

- The Science Journal of Evolution actually says that those hip bones are reproductive claspers, so they're necessary for joining whales together during mating.
