If two species have numerous morphological similarities and few differences, baraminologists will place the two in separate baramines if the Bible so dictates. In this case, whales would be placed in with fish rather than with mammals even though whales are distinctly mammals. The evidence is that whales are mammals - they have far more in common with mammals (they share diagnostic features with mammals) than with fish -, yet baraminologists can ignore that evidence and focus on the fact that whales and fish both live in the water and are classed as fish by the Bible, then decide to place them together in a single baramine.
You are not suggesting that
there are those so out of touch with reality as to make such a claim, are you?

"You are not suggesting that there are those so out of touch with reality as to make such a claim, are you?" LOL. No 'suggesting' about it.
