Why did the Creator give us dolphins, those fishy looking mammals? Why would there be mammals who spend most of their time underwater?
There are six species of porpoise, thirty-two species of marine dolphin, and four species of river dolphin.
If I were the Creator, I would have used a much simpler scheme. Animals that live in salt water would breathe salt water. Animals that live in fresh water would breathe fresh water. Animals that live on land would breathe air.
I just don't see any reason the Creator would make porpoises, marine dolphins and whales to live in the ocean without being able to extract oxygen from seawater. The only answer that makes sense is that all these animals are the result of an evolutionary process. They are descended from land animals, from mammals who evolved on land.
