I never said bones alone make a relationship; indeed, bones are simply another clue to the relationships between organisms.

No, but their imagined relationships are continually touted as prima facie evidence for Darwinian evolution. So how do you answer the questions I posed?

[Junior]

Bones are strong evidence that evolution has occured. How do you explain the fossil record? Are the creatures therein predecessors to modern creatures, or were they (and modern critters) created in situ? As for your question, I don't know all that much about whale evolution; seems to me VadeRetro and you have that corner pretty much to y'all's selves.
