Even packicetus is called a whale. There's something wrong with that picture. The nomenclature is promoting the theory.
I'm sorry Aaron, but you obviously don't quite understand. There is no theory to promote. Evolution as both theory and fact is so established by the world community of scientists that there is nothing left to promote. The only people who disagree are Abrahamic fundementalists. Strange that. Do you really think that your tiny minority have ANY impact whatsoever on how scientists pick and choose their nomenclature?
The evolution vs creationism debate has relevance only in so much as it affects the education of children. Outside of that, creationism is merely one amonst many laughing stocks of the Western civilised world.
