Yaro, the faked drawings were used in most textbooks until 1998, according to one textbook author who corrected the problem after Richardson's studies.
MOST textbooks? Well. That's a lofty claim! Do you have any proof? If you could give me a textbook ISBN anywhere from 1990-1998, where Haeckles drawings are presented as actuall fact, I will belive you.
However, I highly doubt it considering that we know have such excelent photographs to show. Most Bio. Books I have seen use photos not drawings.
I would also further add that a Highschool Biology text is hardly the sort of material that shapes the minds of PRACTICING EVOLUTIONARY BIOLOGISTS.
Imo, the fact you guys have such a hard time recognizing the simple truth here, that the use of these drawings showed that evolutionists in presenting "facts" were presenting something that was not a fact, and did so for over 100 years is amazing.
You have as of yet, not provided any single shred of proof that the viability of these drawings lasted more than a few decades. Proove that these drawings have been claimed true for over 100 years, PROVE IT, or retract the claim.
Also, it does not matter if you call someone not a "creationist." I may not be a creationist under someone's definition, but clearly you have failed to prove evolutionists corrected Haeckel's errors.
LOL, don't make me laugh.
When are you going to back up your claim?
I'm not making any. You are. When are you going to back yours up?
Also, what an evolutionary biologist does in his work is not all that germane to my claims since my claim really deals with how evolution is taught and believed. A particular area of study, such as evolution of some species or whatever, is not what I was referring to. That may be real science, but the general arguments and the way evolution is presented and believed is the area I consider reflective of ideological indoctrination.
What the general populace belives and what actual scientists belive has allways been diferent.
Why were Haeckel's drawings in textbooks despite creationists denouncing them?
Which textbooks? Show me one, ISBN will suffice. See, you are making the claims not me.
Clearly because evolutionists failed to closely examine if what they claimed was factual was indeed factual.
Proof please, proof!
The drawings worked, very well, if the goal was to get people to believe.
Yes, they worked back in the 1800's, well done. Thank god we invented photography, genetics, advanced microscopes. Do you realize how silly this all is? YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT EVENTS 130 years ago!!!
They failed miserably if the goal was education.
That's something I frankly am surprised you guys don't get.
Ooo, another insult. What's the matter? No evidence?
