Due to the absolute absence of fishbabies, chickenbabies, etc. such nonsense could never have honestly fooled many people at all - unless they wanted to be fooled. Right, oh willing one?
Hi CTD,

Again with the accusations that evolutionists are foolish or stupid. Looks like you are just trying to egg me on with the blatant accusation that I want to be fooled. Typical of your tactics.

The idea that, even if Hackel's hypothesis had merit, there should be chicken and fish babies in human miscarriages is the height of creationist foolishness.
I don't think it is "creationist foolishness" at all. If Häckel & co. claim the baby becomes successively different animals, how does one reconcile the failure of these animals to turn up when pregnancies go wrong? Not just human pregnancies - all mammals were thought to pass through stages. But no dog's ever produced a fish. How obvious is that!?

Did this just "slip by" without notice, or did people "let it slide" due to a desire to believe the untrue? Or is it a case of "everything's okay now that we know better"? A blunder like that is inexcusable. It's not okay. If it was accepted, it could only be accepted by idiots and liars.

Have you evidence that says otherwise?
