It's not a pretty sight to see John Paul on the run. It might be worth reminding him of why he is in this difficult position. From "Falsifying Creation " thread, message #9,
"As for whales- the transitionals only appear as such in the minds of evolutionists. Without genetic analysis to substantiate those claims any interpretation of the fossil record is directly related to one's worldview."
Unfortunately for JP, lbhandli has provided details of a paper which gives JP what he asked for, genetic analysis substantiating the claim for the evolution of whales and hippopotamus from a common ancestor - genetic and fossil evidence agree.
Now JP resorts to diversions: "practical bearings on today's marine life", "offers nothing for the betterment of mankind", "How does this phylogenic analysis of the alleged evolution of cetaceans aid us in the research for a cure for cancer or any disease for that matter?" All of the science has now gone out the window.
Not a pretty sight at all, when the curtains are drawn on one's worldview.
