Why do whales have legs & pelvic bones separated from the rest of their skeletons?

Why do whales have legs & pelvic bones separated from the rest of their skeletons?

Evolution-deniers: The Theory of Evolution explains this evidence quite well. What is your alternative explanation for such evidence?
Uh huh...and what would they use in reproduction and giving live birth if not for those "leg bones" and the muscles that attach to them? Sorry, but I have a very hard time thinking whales " walked around" on those "legs" that aren't connected to anything, when they still serve the function they were created for.

A whale of a tale?

First, you never demonstrated that they were created.

Second, why don't we see the same features in whale sharks? Why do we only see these features in the species that supposedly evolved from land mammals? Just a coincidence?

I was hoping for some replies.

Stephen H. Roberts wrote the following, oft-quoted, rather ridiculous statement:

"I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours"

So I will use his "logic" to craft the following:

"I contend that a bachelor and a monogamous happily-married man BOTH reject marriage. The bachelor simply believes in being married to one fewer wife than does the average married man. When you understand why the married man rejects 99.9999999% of all marriage candidates, you will understand why the bachelor dismisses marriage."

Yes. Quite profound. Sorry, Mr. Roberts. A man who is a monotheist is not an atheist. Colossal fail.

In their ancestors who walked on land, the bones were attached.

And I'm still hoping for some replies from evolution-deniers.

Yes. I realize that my hopes are in vain.
