Whales in their current form also appear suddenly in the fossil record, something that cannot be explained by current evolutionary science<ref>https://creation.com/refuting-evolution-chapter-5-whale-evolution</ref>. With that sudden appearance is also the trait that cannot be explained by anything other than a deliberate act of creation: baleen filter plates. Gray whales, right whales, and rorquals carry these filters; to do so according to evolution requires an intentional act, in this case a change in diet to smaller prey and the realization that it needs a filtering system to catch that prey<ref>http://creationstudies.org/articles/science/life-science/206-whales-lose-teeth</ref>. As it remains, the descent of whales from terrestrial ancestors according to evolution cannot be proved. | Whales in their current form also appear suddenly in the fossil record, something that cannot be explained by current evolutionary science<ref>https://creation.com/refuting-evolution-chapter-5-whale-evolution</ref>.
