The problem is that it's not just the textbooks, but what was taught in high school and college classrooms, and presented as a major piece of evidence since Darwin.
First of all, it is not what is in (all of) the textbooks, as you have been shown previously. Why do you ignore responses to your posts, other than the fact that you are not debating in good faith? Second, when were you last in a high school or college biology class? How do you know what is taught?
It was a fundamental argument and standard practice for evolutionists to overstate the embryonic case for evolution, and imo, the overstatements are still on-going.
I'm glad that we have your opinion on this. It is not shared by many, however.

And as we all know, all PhD's are credulous sheep when it comes to thinking.

So, this is part of the great evolutionist plot!
... so much so the evolutionist community has had a difficult time completely abandoning the claims, wanting to somehow still make a link between fish gills and humans for example.
But, as you have been shown, there is a link. I can see what your problem is here, Rantman. You are completely impervious to anyt facts that are inconvenient for you. For you, they literally do not exist.
