"The dinosaurs were dominant animals. They became extinct around 65 million years before present. Simultaneously, large sea reptiles also became extinct. It created a vacuum in the sea as well as on the land. Thus there was a need of large animals, both on land and water, who could feed on fauna and flora to maintain the equilibrium. Thus whales evolved to fill in the aquatic ecospace.

What's interesting about this statement is that its author clearly doesn't understand natural selection--and his preferred language strongly smacks of intelligent design.

I don't see that at all. What I see mostly is circular reasoning: based on current thinking, biologically there is an equilibrium, which is an end in itself and it drove evolution for millions of years to satisfy this presumed necessary "equilibrium"; in other words, the evolutionary process knows beforehand where it is going and when to stop.

A patent absurdity!

Since we have no facts with any certainty from 50 million years ago, nor any from 50 million into the future, anything that can be said, will be said!

As Mark Twain put it, "Such large returns of conjecture from such small investment in facts."
