One of CTD's evidences
Quote
DNA research has resulted in a new make-believe clade called Whippomorpha. Whale evolution stories are in disarray because the hippo is "closer" to whales than the old "tree" allows. But the hippo can't just be plugged in as a whale ancestor, so... Well, they're trying to backtrack without appearing to backtrack. Arguing about the new tree, etc.

CTD,

I don't see how this example, or any of the others you provided, can be considered any kind of evidence at all in support of 7-day creation, much less compelling evidence. I would appreciate it if you would expound upon any one of these and show the logical and evidence-laden connection to 7-day creationism.
I guess I didn't elaborate enough when I said

Anyone other than a committed evolutionist should have no problem understanding that there is no tree.

No tree = no non-whale ancestor for the whale. Hippos didn't become whippos didn't become whales. Whales have always been whales, just as bats have always been bats, crocodiles have always been crocodiles, pterosaurs have always been pterosaurs, and every other kind of lifeform has always been what it's been.

Now, since whales have always been whales, either God made whales, or they came into being spontaneously. While some may believe in spontaneous generation of whales, such an event runs contrary to science. It is scientific and rational to conclude that whales were made by God.

The only reliable record which speaks of God's early activities indicates that everything was made during the first week. As science confirms that God made creatures, there is no conflict.
