So an evolutionist friend of mine posted on facebook an article/picture of Ernst Haeckel’s drawing of embryos. the Article from sciencedaily.com had Ernst Haeckel’s infamous drawings with the following caption below
“The astonishing similarity in the appearance of embryos from different animal species was observed as far back as the 19th century by scientists such as Karl von Baer, Charles Darwin and Ernst Haeckel. Such observations prompted the hypothesis that the individual development of an organism reflects”
I was Surprised to know that he was not the only person out there in the web that did not know That these drawings are completely inaccurate (to say the least). Also the idea that a embryo (of whatever species) goes though stages of re-enacting it’s evolutionary heritage is right out of the 18 hundredths. Is this what evolutionist are resorting to? posting deceptive drawings from a bygone era where drawings were considered a scientific discovery. Needless to say, when i posted a picture (the one below) comparing Haeckel’s drawings to of an actual photograph of those embryos, the discussion took a completely different turn into his understanding of Christian theology.
I can only speculate the resent interest in Haeckel’s drawings is the fact that evolution has nothing new to report. Feeding on the gullibility of it’s followers is the only refuge evolution has in the face of the facts.
