Science, Creation & EvolutionSmoking-Gun Evidence of Man-Monkey Kindred: Episode II -TailTuppence, I'll grant to you that the mistaken perception is easy to make when you view Dr. Johnson's article and image while having in mind Haeckel's sketches. I made the same mistake myself until I studied it more closely. It is a mistake that will be remedied. Take another look at this picture: Now take another look at the text below the image: Now let me change the emphasis: Now maybe it has become clear to you that the embryos shown in the image are not all human embryos, but they are embryos of various animals including human. Haeckel drew human embryos to closely resemble animals, but that is not the case here. However, we do have tails and "gill slits" in common with what Haeckel dreamed up. Still, it bears very little resemblence to Haeckel's ideas. Maybe Jonathan Wells would criticize the "gill slits" by saying that they are not gills at all, but I don't have the patience for that tangential topic, so argue about it somewhere else, not here, please. I suspect that all of the textbooks Jonathan Wells listed doesn't actually cite Haeckel's drawings. They only describe what I and Dr. George Johnson describe, which relates to Haeckel's sketches only very remotely. Again, I don't have the patience to actually find out if that is the case. Jonathan Wells should reproduce the entire text pages from the books so we can see if he is telling the truth. I don't want to go to various libraries to verify his claims. |
