Apropos of the above quotes is to remember the bombastic certainty of Dawkins and the evolution of whales from land animals, presented here awhile ago. I know George grinds his teeth every time I enter something from Uncommon Descent but this review of whale evolution is well researched with many cogent entries from the accepted peer-reviewed bunch:-http://www.uncommondescent.com/intelligent-design/whale-evolution-darwinist-trawlers-have-every-reason-to-be-concerned/#more-11035-And I can add a pithy quote of my own: "Theoretical science is always uncertain science".
