Goofy conspiracy theories aren't helpful.6. Now….that vertebrate embryo diagram that they showed you in school…..
Years before Darwin published The Origin of Species, German embryologist Karl Ernst von Baer designed it to show that the embryos of some vertebrates (animals with backbones) pass through a stage at which they look very much alike. Start simple, and go on to become more complex. One can see why Darwin latched on to it. Known as “von Baer’s law,” though von Baer himself knew of many exceptions to it.
See Arthur Henfrey & Thomas H. Huxley (editors), “Scientific Memoirs: Selected from the Transactions of Foreign Academies of Science and from Foreign Journals: Natural History,” (London, 1853; reprinted 1966 by Johnson Reprint Corporation, New York), 214.
7. This particular version was by German Darwinist Ernst Haeckel to illustrate this distorted view, and Darwin relied on the diagram for his theory. It is still used as perfect evidence of Darwin’s beliefs……even though everyone using it knows it is fake.
“Michael Richardson and his colleagues in a July 1997 issue of Anatomy and Embryology,[32] demonstrated that Haeckel falsified his drawings in order to exaggerate the similarity of the phylotypic stage. In a March 2000 issue of Natural History, Stephen Jay Gould argued that Haeckel "exaggerated the similarities by idealizations and omissions." As well, Gould argued that Haeckel's drawings are simply inaccurate and falsified.[33]
But even Richardson admitted in Science Magazine in 1997 that his team's investigation of Haeckel's drawings were showing them to be "one of the most famous fakes in biology."[35] Embryo drawing - Wikipedia
"one of the most famous fakes in biology”….as is Darwinism.
Now....why would real scientists have to lie if their theory could stand up to inspection?
