BTW - evos were trying to pass off the hippo as the ancestor of the whale, but they ran into a little trouble - DNA. The DNA proved conclusively that whales did not descend from hippos.

What, exactly, is the problem with correcting theories by gathering additional information?

BTW - many Christians were trying to pass off the Earth as being less than 10,000 years old, but they ran into a little trouble - radiometric data, scientific evidence from the solar system, and so forth.

"What, exactly, is the problem with correcting theories by gathering additional information? "

No problem at all. The problem here is that science does not make pronouncements that something is proven until the matter has been thoroughly examined, tested and discussed. Evolutionists constantly make half-assed claims with scant or no proof and call everyone and anyone that disagrees about their pronouncements an idiot. This claim about whales was made long after DNA testing became available. They did not test their theory before claiming a miraculous proof of macro-evolution. In fact, I have read articles since this link was disproven claiming that DNA testing is nonsense because the bones (less than 10% of the makeup of a creature) are more valid prove than DNA (which shows 100% of the makeup of a creature. So much for evolution "science".
