... the evolutionists are so unpopular ...

Try to remember you have no problem with evolution.

Am I correct in saying that the right hand top photo is a human baby and the lower right hand photo is a pig fetus?

"Panicking darwinist mind control freaks, alarmed at the fact that more and more people are seeing through the evo-bunk."

Now here's some real bunk for you. There's a Toshiba Corp mind-controlled horse in paragraph 2...

Very good article. It explains nicely what's really going on and the fallacy of science-deniers waving Haeckel around.

[PatrickHenry]

I'd seriously like to know your take on this.

I'm no expert on this topic. The embryos look like what the article describes. Not much doubt about that. Make of it what you will.

[phantomworker]

So what are you saying?

[shuckmaster]

Thanks for a great article! It's wonderful to live in a time when the truth about evolution is finally getting the widespread research and respect it deserves after ages of lies and superstitions.

[Echo Talon]

and they call this science?

[Elsie]

Evolution!!!

Ya gotta LUV it!!!

I suppose no one asked you to the prom either. ;o)

Who says that humans are descended from wolves?

only someone with a repulsive personality would make such a claim. (Lon Chaney doesn't qualify.)

More like the last 6 months or so ~ takes a while for the cold, hard facts to sink in.

[muawiyah]

Sometimes there's only one solution to a particular scaffolding problem ~ you could conceivably have a line of mammals descended directly from fish without the amphibian/reptile stuff (with some clever use of recombinant DNA technology, of course), and you'd probably end up with a developmental scheme pretty much like the one you see being exercised by mammals today.

Researching my background, are you? I accept martyrdom with a smile, knowing 72 platypusses will be waiting for me in the afterlife.

(That's an evo in-joke.)

"More like the last 6 months or so ~ takes a while for the cold, hard facts to sink in."

No, the last 100 years.

I turn on the PC for "a few minutes" to check the news and whatnot, and end up still online an hour later - thanks to links like the one you posted at #58 :) - I found it full of interesting information - thanks!

We wouldn't have this thread if the whole idea had been successfully put to rest. It's still out there. It's still believed (even if you gave up teaching it 100 years ago). It's still specious.
