Yeah it seems so ludicrous doesn't it? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> The fact they all accepted it as fact and had it in science textbooks for years and guess what? Apparently, it's still turning up. This makes sense, one young guy I debated awhile back started giving me examples of embryo evolution based on Hackels' fraudulent drawings. So it's not a problem when stuff like this gets preached and written as a scientific fact and kept there for as long as possible before they decide to do anything about it? These things were totally fictitious and had nothing to do with honest science or even anatomy, yet somehow it got through to science textbooks, how does this happen Linear? What kind of people are screening these things and allowing fiction to be passed off as fact? I don't see the other vestigal examples today as being any different. Just more of the same. You're just more willing to buy into it than I am, no different from those in Hackel's day.
Just had a funny idea: what if ID were to adopt the all the NeoHäckelian doctrines? They'd have to use the new names, of course.

They could then claim ID's already being taught in schools. I can't imagine the evolutionists'd waste too many minutes disavowing the whole thing & deleting it from textbooks.

Maybe it's just me, but I find the scenario pretty funny.
