• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

They actually tell the truth at TalkOrigins. Not even close to the same thing.

It's just an online magazine rag.
Most authors don't identify themselves.

How many more do we all have again?

if memory serves . . .

You start with zero jaw bones in the first fish, as currently seen in Agnatha. The first arch becomes the jaw in later fish. The 2nd arch becomes additional jaw bones in tetrapods. One branch of amniotes, the mammals, had those 2nd and 3rd jaw bones become middle ear bones.

Perhaps so. Nevertheless, my links were from peer-reviewed scientific journals.

:oldthumbsup: TalkOrigins is peer reviewed....just as much as Beetle Bailey is peer reviewed.

Psychological projection is a defense mechanism people subconsciously employ in order to cope with difficult feelings or emotions. Psychological projection involves projecting undesirable feelings or emotions onto someone else, rather than admitting to or dealing with the unwanted feelings.

No, one becomes the jaw, the others gills. This is because fish jaws, (and therefore our jaws) evolved from gill arches.

The two take separate paths. Fish do have primitive slits, mammals never have slits. The jaw bones don't differ in formation.

Most of us do. Some were afraid of the threats from religious fanatics. Some people in the late 1980s thought that the idea of anonymous comments would make them "more honest." I disagreed then, and now.

Interesting that you post anonymously and attack others for the same thing. Why should we believe an obvious hypocrite?

Wouldn't it make sense? Given we're to develop in a water world within the womb of our mother?
Mammals actually evolved on dry land. Perhaps because they came out of the water then it was easy for them to return to the ocean. I see more of a connection between fish and birds sense birds seem to swim though the air above rather then the water below.

There is definitely a post-anal tail. There is no doubt about that.

In China they selling clothing where one size fits all. Some things are more of a stretch then others. If what you say it true then God was able to come up with one basic design where one fits all. He was able to adapt that basic design to create all the different species you see today. That is pretty amazing really. But to say this is all a result of accidents, errors, mistakes or mutations. That is a bit to much of a "stretch" for me to imagine or accept.

I do not create citations of my own posts or anybody on Christianforums.com
I've never attacked a single post on TalkOrigins.org either. There is no point
in trying to critique such writings.

I also post on my website under the format [My first and last name].com
That you have not been invited there, as others have, causes me no shame.
