Not really. As long as a theory is testable and falsifiable it has a shot. What have you got? That bones alone don't make a relationship. What happened to the mesonychus characteristics of the Pakicetus? How do you explain the whale-hippo closeness with in this diagram? How does the ambolucetus come from the Pakicetus if this is the diagram of the relationship?
