DARWINISM REFUTED


                 (about 67 species) and the filter-feeding baleen whales (10 species) are
                 considered as two distinct monophyletic groups... On the other hand,
                 phylogenetic analysis of DNA... and amino acid... sequences contradict this
                 long-accepted taxonomic division. One group of toothed whales, the sperm
                 whales, appear to be more closely related to the morphologically highly
                 divergent baleen whales than to other odontocetes. 169
                 In short, marine mammals defy the imaginary evolutionary scenarios
             which they are being forced to fit.
                 Contrary to the claims of evolutionist propaganda on the origin of
             marine mammals, we are dealing not with an evolutionary process backed
             up by empirical evidence, but by evidence coerced to fit a presupposed
             evolutionary family tree, despite the many contradictions between the
             two.
                 What emerges, if the evidence is looked at objectively, is that different
             living groups emerged independently of each other in the past. This is
             compelling empirical evidence of the fact that all of these creatures were
             created.
                 Mammals are regarded as the life forms on the top rungs of the so-
             called evolutionary ladder. That being the case, it is hard to explain why
             these animals moved over to a marine environment. Another question is
             how these creatures adapted to the marine environment even better than
             fish, since animals such as the killer whale and the dolphin, which are
             mammals and therefore possess lungs, are even better adapted to the
             environment they live in than fish that breathe in water.
                 It is perfectly obvious that the imaginary evolution of marine
             mammals cannot be explained in terms of mutations and natural selection.
             One article published in GEO magazine refers to the origin of the blue
             whale, a marine mammal, and states the despairing position of Darwinism
             on the subject thus:
                 Like blue whales, the bodily structures and organs of other mammals living
                 in the sea also resemble those of fish. Their skeletons also bear similarities to
                 those of fish. In whales, the rear limbs that we can refer to as legs exhibited
                 a reverse development and did not reach full growth. Yet there is not the
                 slightest information about these animals' form changes. We have to assume
                 that the return to the sea took place not through a long-term, slow transition
                 as claimed by Darwinism, but in momentary leaps. Paleontologists today
