Good start.

The Holy Bible is the only document I've found that makes mention of this in Gen.3:14
So the bible nicely covers how snakes have legs, now please direct me to where I can resolve the issue Archer brought up - Where does the bible say why whales have legs?
Do I refer to the bible for all questions regarding science? I am just curious to know. When the bible doesnt specifically answer my question, on what basis do I judge another documents validity? (or do I simply ignore all questions that the bible does not specifically answer - blood suger levels for diabetes, warning signs for medication overdoses, etc. My job, and my clients lives depend on such information)

On page 5 there are two photographs of embryos with hindlimb buds. Also there are two photographs of hindlimbs in adult skeletons.

This photograph is quite good also

I can also "see the evidence" in whales, so is this the point where Occam's Razor begins to apply?

I am sorry for supplying a link that contains a photograph from a site that may contain content that is "refuted". Here is the image on its own .
quote:
evolution can interpretate whale fins has hands if they want to
Actually the area that I expected you to consider was more to the rear of the embryo (as seen marked with an H), the front fins scientists merely conclude to be fins. I am curious why it is so difficult to imagine that a whale cannot have once had legs while you so easily conclude that snakes once did? There are photographs.
quote:

Please show me the evidence that Boas and Pythons did have legs while whales did not. Perhaps your friend has done the research that shows how snakes and whales differ in this regard?
This is not philosophy, science, marxism, satanism, or whatever you want to call it - this is simply observation of a photograph. You state one thing as fact, how does it differ from what I present as fact?
