| Quote | | Quote | | molch:. Or are you claiming that earlier embryos are more dissimilar than the embryo stages depicted in the illustration, and that thats why the choice of illustration is misleading. |
You are starting to show signs of life. Typically, these writers promote the idea that vertebrate embryos are extremely similar therefore share a common ancestor, using Heackel-like drawings as valid evidence to make their case for common ancestry.
Millers book, for example, reads, However, as you can see in Figure 13-16, [Heackel-like drawings] all of these embryos are similar in appearance during EARLY STAGES [my emphasis] of development. (pg. 283) The caption reads: During certain embryological stages, vastly different organisms show similarities. During later stages of development, profound changes occur. Thus the adults bear little resemblance to one-another.
He exaggerates the similarities in much the same way that Haeckel exaggerated them. He knows that he is not telling the truth, and he is using Heackels drawings as evidence to support his lie. Case closed.

Someone should ask him which early stages are the most dissimilar and if he knows why they're dissimilar. |
Just StephenB retreating back into the science free zone as fast as possible. Any foray into the arena of evidence instead of argument ends badly for Clive's boy.

Even in retreat, Stephen(psychotic Pharasee)B can't resist a Parthian (or parting) shot that repeats the earlier overstatement he is supposedly retreating from.
