Believe me, there is some young, upstart paleontologist wanting to make a name for himself that is pondering this whale of a problem even as we speak

Most likely true. But that paleontologist will need the help of "chemistry". That is what originally turned the boneheads on to the hoofed creatures instead of Darwin's bear. New DNA studies might be able to provide a time range for the whale/hippo split.

Another interesting link. This is an exchange of emails between an evolutionist (who also seems to be an atheist) and a creationist. Classic creationist statements. A ton of interesting links are given to the creationist. Well worth a look. HERE.
