Since they are unable to account for a mammal that lives in the sea, Darwinists are unable to invent a scenario that might account for the existence of the whale. They merely make do with claiming that a land-dwelling life form returned to the sea.
Darwin claimed that whales evolved from bears hunting small insects on dry land. But Celal Şengör rejected this embarrassing claim on Darwin’s behalf, saying that no such thing had ever appeared in any edition of Darwin’s book. But the fact is that in the first, 1865 edition of his The Origin of Species, Darwin wrote:
"In North America the black bear was seen... swimming for hours with widely open mouth, thus catching, like a whale, insects in the water. Even in so extreme a case as this, if the supply of insects were constant, and if better adapted competitors did not already exist in the country, I can see no difficulty in a race of bears being rendered, by natural selection, more and more aquatic in their structure and habits, with larger and larger mouths, till a creature was produced as monstrous as a whale." (The Origin of Species, 1st edition, chapter 6, p. 184)
This passage was removed from later editions of the book, but he regretted its removal. In one of his letters he said:
"I still maintain that there is no special difficulty in a bear's mouth being enlarged to any degree useful to its changing habits." (More Letters of Charles Darwin, Francis Darwin, 1903, p. 162)
