Why are Haeckel's drawings being taught in school?

umm, confirmation bias? They confirm his bias, and he doesn't have to slog through the hard reading of science texts to understand these things. All he wants to do is believe the Bible is factualy true, but to do this he has to find a way to discount science, history, logic, geology, archeology and there are a lot of people out there offering quick fixes, apologetics to let people believe the most fantastic things. Millions of people, perhaps, do this because they are unable or unwilling to understand science.I'm disappointed but that is the way things are.lfen

Haeckel's drawings are not the basis for evolution. When I took biology in college in the 60's we were taught that the old notion of "ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny" was not accurate. So Haeckel wasn't a part of the study of evolution, nor is the false notion of recapitulations.You are flogging a dead horse. Why? The horse is dead and it wasn't the work horse that built the theory anyway. You are right about Haeckel but that doesn't falsify ToE in the least. Cant' you find an even more marginal issue to basis your silly arguments on. Maybe Darwin once beat a horse or drank bad whiskey?lfen
