"Although Darwin got the particulars wrong, his swimming-bear scenario was not far off the mark. Modern molecular biologists say that they now have the unassailable evidence to track whales' origins among four-legged mammals."

Regardless, using darwin to attack evolution is the height of dishonesty. It is like pointing to a flaw in the kitty-hawk to argue against the theory of flight.

It was one part of her opinion column. She did not use it to make a case against evolution. She used it in her opinion column to say that Darwinists are censors and afraid of debate. I think this thread proves her point quite sufficiently.

Back to the bear, no one here even knew it was part of Darwin's original theory. I do not think the collective knowledge on this thread justifies the emotion and vitriol.
