Neither humans at the time of dinosaurs would falsify evolution nor its absence validate it.
You maintain that imperfections keep validating evolution.
For whales, perhaps you'd like to learn about Gingerich words on the subject (which you know but ignore):
"I speculated that it might have had a fluke [whale-like tail], I now doubt that Rodhocetus would have had a fluked tail."
"Since then we have found the forelimbs, the hands, and the front arms of Rodhocetus, and we understand that it doesn’t have the kind of arms that can spread out like flippers on a whale."
Rodhocetus tale is based on conjectures created when a few fragments of it emerged. The conjectures were contradicted by later discoveries, but the tale remained for Evolutionauts please.
Also note that the terrestrial ancestors-to-be of whales all lived in the same era, Ambulocetus even antedated the predecessors. Too bad for Evolutionauts, but they ignore this.
If no humans at dinosaurs time validates evolution, all ancestor-to-be at same time, some even antedating, do what? What about sham ancestors like Rodhocetus?
Rapid evolution is exciting. I checked this one.
Well, the poison selected out cockroaches that tasted glucose sweet and selected in those that tasted glucose bitter (so good for their teeth, too). Great, David. You deserve some pats on the back (just kidding). Like Morgan said, evolution means producing new things, not more of what exists.
