Penguin Eggs to Die For
by James J. S. Johnson, J.D., Th.D. *
"There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death. (Proverbs 14:12)"
During January–March 1912, Captain Robert Scott and four other optimistic members of the British Antarctic Terra Nova Expedition braved the bitter-cold summer weather of Antarctica’s Ross Ice Sheet, hoping to be the first to discover the South Pole. Another hope of his team’s quixotic quest was to acquire early-development-stage emperor penguin (Aptenodytes forsteri) eggs for marshaling scientific evidence trying to prove the so-called “law” of phylogenetic recapitulation, which holds that embryos reflect the stages of their evolutionary past as they develop. Many assumed this theory, championed by Ernst Haeckel and Charles Darwin, would provide the missing mechanism for justifying Darwin’s natural selection theory.

“phylogenetic recapitulation”
Which, by the way, explains why human embryos have tails and gill slits.
Are you nuts? There is no human in that woman’s womb. It could come out as a turtle for all we know. #LibSpeak
Oh sorry, that man or woman’s womb #CelebrateDiversity
“Many assumed this theory, championed by Ernst Haeckel and Charles Darwin, would provide the missing mechanism for justifying Darwin’s natural selection theory.”
Darwin’s theory starts and ends with, “Hold muh beer and watch this.”
Edward A. Wilson, the naturalist who accompanied Scott to the South Pole and died with him on the return, was a devout Christian who had no qualms about accepting Darwin’s theories.
Now THAT’S funny—thanks for the giggle.
“the cold, hard facts refused to cooperate”
Thanks, you made my day with this post.
The ICR respecting “cold hard facts?”
An institution for the elevation of woo
flaunting cold hard facts. It’s too much.
Ah yes Scott, the English hero who got his stupid self and his ship, the Discovery, stuck in the ice in the summer of 1903-04...

Top row: Haeckel’s drawings of several different embryos, showing incredible similarity in their early ‘tailbud’ stage.
Bottom Row: Richardson’s photographs of how the embryos really look at the same stage. (From left: Salmo salar, Cryptobranchus allegheniensis, Emys orbicularis, Gallus gallus, Oryctolagus cuniculus, Homo sapiens.) Many modern evolutionists no longer claim that the human embryo repeats the adult stages of its alleged evolutionary ancestors, but point to Haeckel’s drawings (top row) to claim that it repeats the embryonic stages. However, even this alleged support for evolution is now revealed as being based on faked drawings.

Hmmmmm.....
They all have tails and branchial slits.
Darwin was not a “champion” of recapitulation theory.
Darwin’s theory is both insightful and elegant. The application of that theory to speciation is problematic and largely unfounded by the evidence.
