Whale Evolution
Please Subscribe To The WhyEvolutionIsTrue Youtube Channel. www.youtube.com More Short Videos On Evolution: tinyurl.com The evolution of whales has been a mystery. How did a large, big-brained mammal — air-breathing, warm-blooded, giving birth to live young — come to live entirely in water, when mammals evolved on land? The discovery of many fossils with transitional features documents the transformation of whales from land animals to ocean dwellers. Another indication of whales’ evolutionary heritage can be seen in the way they move. Call it an unfinished story, but with a plot that’s a grabber. It’s the tale of an ancient land mammal making its way back to the sea, becoming the forerunner of today’s whales. In doing so, it lost its legs, and all of its vital systems became adapted to a marine existence — the reverse of what happened millions of years previously, when the first animals crawled out of the sea onto land. Some details remain fuzzy and under investigation. But we know for certain that this back-to-the-water evolution did occur, thanks to a profusion of intermediate fossils that have been uncovered over the past two decades. In 1978, paleontologist Phil Gingerich discovered a 52-million-year-old skull in Pakistan that resembled fossils of creodonts — wolf-sized carnivores that lived between 60 and 37 million years ago, in the early Eocene epoch. But the skull also had characteristics in common with the Archaeocetes, the oldest known whales. The new bones …

@lennyhipp You still dont get it do you, YOU ARE USING YOUR EYES RIGHT NOW, BE THANKFUL FOR THAT AND STOP BEING SUCH AN INGRATE!
Why dont you just pluck your eyes out if you are so dissatisfied with it, gosh, you guys.
Yes many are born without ears, feet or hands, but can you compare your performance rate to theirs? no you cant, so you should be thankful rathr than spew rubbish. You totally disgust me. If i was God, i would take away all those parts you have.
@lennyhipp Before i can show you that he exists, you have to know what spirits are and also about the supernatural realm, cos God is a spirit and we worship him and in truth.
2.Human anatomy and brain are the most complex things ever and no man has been able to even create anything close to that. If you believe he did a shitty job, then i would like to see you do better, if you cant then shut and be thankful.
3. Even most of the oldest people who are abt to die still hear, smel and see.
@lennyhipp Just a word of advice:We are God’s creations, satan was thrown out of heaven a long time ago and destined for hell. But satan did not want to spend eternity in hell alone, he wanted to get back at God so he made up his mind to attack God’s creation, to turn them away from God and to make them sin against him just as he did so that God’s creation would also go to hell. That is why satan made Adam and Eve sin against God.Evolution is to turn you away fom God’s truth. Be wise!
@lennyhipp Another word of advice. There’s another world out there, the world of the supernatural where angels, satan God and the souls of those that died here on earth dwell. We cant see this world because it is a heightened state of existence that is beyond the reach of man and hence science. People often make claims of having an alien encounter and the truth is that they are having encounters not with aliens, but with spiritual forces, either the good or evil ones. Knowledge is power, be wise
@theaccousticaddict Why… Do you guys have to drag God here? I mean all that “God” requires is to believe in Jesus. Everything is just redundant and kinda vestigial too. Supernatural… don’t make us laugh, the only supernatural thing around here, is that show of the same name. Leave science to the people that want to learn about science and leave the “supernatural” to the people that want learn about it. If you don’t like this, you shouldn’t have watched it in the first place.
@n987 “Do you guys have to drag God here?”
I don’t know who talks more about god, “liberal” atheists (that think being an atheist is the greatest thing since sliced bread) or theists??
@theaccousticaddict you are mentally ill and very severely
@SuperFinGuy well…. it is the greatest thing since sliced bread…..
@SuperFinGuy well I don’t really enjoy my atheism, I’m pretty happy I’m not a theist though
@lennyhipp It also begs the question: If all things require a designer, then who designed god? It’s funny though…he’s going on about spirits and god’s existence but doesn’t offer any proof that that is so. He just keeps repeating the same thing again and again
I love seeing fascinating vids like this. It’s so thought provoking.
@shaun365
Nothing creates the absolute creator. That creator has always been, and always will be. The all of what is is due to this creator.
That’s what I’d say if i had no facts behind my points.
@theaccousticaddict I’m sorry we all can’t live in a make believe world, if these spirits can pay my bill, then I’m all ears.
@Shawnruss
Religious people are stupid. I say that because it’s obvious that you will follow no logic, so whybother? If you think everything must have a designer except for the designer itself, then that is special-pleading. You wont be able to provide a single shred of testable evidence for it at all. You will just point at a rainbow & say “gawd dunn it”. Now watch these vids & challenge them if you want, or just leave… but shut up about your fairy tales already.
@88Keyz101
You should read my comment again.
I don’t think god exists.
Incredible,.
@Shawnruss Pretty much what they’re saying now
It’s kinda sad though. In every other aspect of their lives, they require proof of claim and place that burden of proof on those who make said claim. why then, is it so difficult for them to understand that the burden of proof is on THEM if they want to make the ridicukous claim of a deity. It boggles the mind..!
this video is full of lies… evoulution is not true and never will be
@iluvsees so how you explain the fossils, the dating of the past, everything goes through changes, landmasses shift, climate changes, fauna flora changes, hence evolution a transformation of species to suit the current conditions.
@88Keyz101
have u ever stopped to think that maybe science cant explain everything, and everyone is gonna have their own thoughts on life, if u have a problem with that, either get u a clone, or shut the fuck up, and join the damn game
@OmegaDeathNeo
“…if u have a problem with that, either get u a clone, or shut the fuck up, and join the damn game”
Wtf are you talking about? Seriously, what are you saying?
@88Keyz101
u know, when i read my comment, i dont even know, but all i was trying to say was that everyone has their own views, u have ur’s on certain things (and i respect them) and i have mine…just saying
@iluvsees haha you suck bro no one agrees with you ncse. com/files/pub/evolution/Voices_3e.pdf
@OmegaDeathNeo
The truth is going to be what it is regardless of what anyone believes or what views anyone has. If our actions are based on what we know, how can you be content with letting everyone simply live with beliefs without actually putting an effort forth in finding out the truth? Aren’t we better off putting aside belief and faith so that we can make an effort to find a truth to act upon, based not on belief, but on observation and rational discourse?
@iluvsees Sleeping person, evolution is an observed fact. It is just as much a fact as any in science.
