| Quote | There are as of yet no substantive arguments (not even in the OP) on the ancestral whale thread, but that would be unusual for sure. There are, however, the usual arguments from incredulity, including this classic from Dr. Dr. Dembski hisself | Quote | | Pardon my naivete, but don’t really really big animals (like whales that can weigh 200 tons) need all sorts of different homeostatic mechanisms to control body heat, etc. compared with much smaller deer/rat-like creatures? Silly me, of course evolution can produce these mechanisms — it created everything else. |
So, Bill, what is your explanation for whale evolution? |
It's amazing how little this guy knows about biology. And Kleiber described the relation between body size and metabolic rate in 1932. BTW, Dembski himself developed from a few Kg to about 70-80 Kg. His logic would imply that he developed | Quote | | all sorts of different homeostatic mechanisms to control body heat, etc. |
OK, he lost brown adipose tissue and shifted from non-shivering to shivering thermogenesis, but that's all.
