yes i do, that is why whales have hip bones :p

And lungs, back legs, mammalian brain, etc...

yes, there is a lot of evidence that they were once land dwellers :p

I went to the Smithsonian Natural History Museum and they had a room full of intermediate fossils between whales and their land mammal ancestors.

Agreed, Cetacean evolution is more than well documented. In fact one could even argue that whales today are the perfect example of the transitional species creationists always ask evidence for; they were clearly once land mammals and are still adapting to their relatively new water based environment. And the transition from land to water is well documented with fossil and DNA evidence.

Although in the same breath one could also say that we are all transitional species in much the same way, it's just that our adaptation to new environments is not as pronounced.
