Topics "No living animals have captured our imaginations as have the great whales... They fire our imaginations and stab at our emotions. They inspire our art, literature, and music. And so they should. The indescribable blend of grace, power, and beauty of a whale as it glides underwater, leaps toward the sky, or simply lifts its flukes and slides into the sea symbolises a vanishing poetry of the wild."

184. - Overselling Of Whale Evolution - Conventional wisdom among evolutionists is that whales descended from land mammals, but the fossil evidence is not persuasive, let alone conclusive. http://www.trueorigin.org/whales.asp

Home Feedback Links Books The Overselling of Whale Evolution by Ashby L. Camp This article first appeared in the May/June 1998 issue of Creation Matters , a newsletter published by the Creation Research Society onventional wisdom among evolutionists, at least at the popular level, is that whales descended from Mesonychidae, an early and diverse family of land mammals that were well adapted for running. It is hypothesized that some mesonychid species began feeding on creatures inhabiting shallow waters and that over many generations the selective pressures created by this change of diet transformed one or more of the species into an amphibious archaeocete. The selective pressures of amphibious living in turn generated a variety of archaeocetes and eventually transformed one or more of the species into a fully marine archaeocete. Marine existence then shaped further adaptations to produce the 75 to 77 living species of whales, porpoises, and dolphins. The purpose of this article is to suggest that the fossil evidence for the mesonychid-to-whale transition is not persuasive, let alone conclusive. Mesonychids to Archaeocetes Dissacus navajovius (which is Dissacus carnifex of Cope) and some archaeocete specimens. His rather cautious statement of the claim is worth recalling:

The Web CNN.com Home Page World U.S. Weather ... Special Reports SERVICES Video E-mail Newsletters CNNtoGO SEARCH Web CNN.com Federal judge limits Navy use of sonar amid concerns for marine life Environmentalists say navy sonar is dangerous to sea mammals. Story Tools SAN FRANCISCO, California (AP) Citing concerns for marine mammals, a federal judge on Tuesday limited the Navy's use of a new sonar system designed to detect enemy submarines. The decision scuttles the Navy's plans to experiment with the low-frequency sonar throughout the majority of the world's oceans, confining it instead to areas with few marine mammals and endangered species. The case stems from a lawsuit by the Natural Resources Defense Council and other environmental organizations that claimed the powerful sonar system harasses and can even kill marine mammals. The judge ordered NRDC and the Navy to determine where testing the sonar would have a minimal impact on marine life and set a hearing for October 7 to review the matter. The order does not preclude the Navy from using the submarine-detection system during wartime, and acknowledges that the Navy must be allowed to train with it beforehand in various oceanic conditions. Environmentalists, who say sonar is dangerous, point to a different system the Navy used in March 2000. Hours after it was deployed, at least 16 whales and two dolphins beached themselves on islands in the Bahamas. Eight whales died and scientists found hemorrhaging around their brains and ear bones injuries consistent with exposure to loud noise.

The Infamous Exploding Whale If there are no images on the page, try allowing port 8090 through your firewall, or click here There's been a story floating around the net for years about a beached whale that was blown up (exploded, not inflated) for lack of a better way to be rid of it. Many people thought it was an urban legend It wasn't. Florence, Oregon, USA. November 12, 1970. A news crew (led by reporter Paul Linnman ) was on hand for this historic event, and got the whole thing on tape It was a big whale. It was a smelly whale. Most importantly, it was a dead whale. Obviously, a significant amount (half a ton) of dynamite was required. Main Letters Video Paul Linnman Dave Barry ... Credits Fnord on Windrunner: We've got Boar Intestines!
