The “Whale of A T ale” from Evolutionists

For instance, even in the most "scientific" evolutionist books the "transition from water to land", which is
one of the greatest unaccounted-for phenomena of evolution, is "explained" with ridiculous simplicity.
According to evolution, life started in water and the first developed animals were fish. The theory has it that
one day these fish started to fling themselves on to the land for some reason or other, (most of the time,

drought is said to be the reason), and the fish that chose to live on land, happened to have feet instead of fins,
and lungs instead of gills.

ne of the curious evolutionary fables is the one about the "evolution of
whale" that was published in National Geographic, widely respected as one
O of the most scientific and serious publications in the world:
The Whale's ascendancy to sovereign size apparently began sixty million years ago

when hairy, four-legged mammals, in search of food or sanctuary, ventured into water.
As eons passed, changes slowly occurred. Hind legs disappeared, front legs changed
into flippers, hair gave way to a thick smooth blanket of blubber, nostrils moved to the
top of the head, the tail broadened into flukes, and in the buoyant water world the

body became enormous. 1
Besides the fact that there is not a single scientific basis for any of
this, such an occurrence is also contrary to
the principles of nature. This fable published

in National Geographic is noteworthy for being
indicative of the extent of the fallacies of seem-
ingly serious evolutionist publications.
