In the September 5, 1997, edition of the well-known scientific
journal Science, an article was published revealing that Haeckel's
embryo drawings were the product of a deception. The article,
called "Haeckel's Embryos: Fraud Rediscovered," had this to say:
The impression they [Haeckel's drawings] give, that the embryos
are exactly alike, is wrong, says Michael Richardson, an embryolo-
gist at St. George's Hospital Medical School in London… So he and
his colleagues did their own comparative study, reexamining and
photographing embryos roughly matched by species and age with
those Haeckel drew. Lo and behold, the embryos "often looked sur-
prisingly different," Richardson reports in the August issue of
Anatomy and Embryology.
In short, despite its having emerged as early as 1901 that
Haeckel's drawings were counterfeit, defenders of the theory of
evolution such as BBC portray this theory as if it were scientific fact
and attempt to keep the evolution deception alive.
Empty Words and Statements Intended
to "Bewitch" the Viewer
"The miracle of evolution;" "evolution accomplished this ex-
traordinary transformation;" "the human body shaped by evolu-
tion." Expressions such as these are frequently encountered in evo-
lutionist sources. BBC often uses them, trying to inculcate the idea
of "the miracle of evolution" alongside striking and colorful images.
When these expressions of BBC's are examined closer, however, it
can be seen that they are hollow, devoid of any scientific proof and
actually state and explain nothing at all.
Using such expressions as these, BBC sets out a string of claims,
although as one might expect, it fails to explain how any of these
might have come about and which evolutionary mechanisms might
have wrought such changes. These are some of the issues which
BBC does not or cannot explain and which it glosses over with
fancy words:
