    You've Probably Seen a Fish with Lungs in Person

    Problem is, there's no actual reason to make all these escape related traits for a mudskipper or catching traits for a monitor lizard if they were created. Just make the prey meet the minimum necessary to consistently get food for themselves, and make the predator slightly faster. If you want...

    Lol, no, it's a participant. Mudskippers unable to escape predators are weeded out of the population, making future generations more likely to inherit traits that benefit escaping. Likewise, if mudskippers served as a good food source for monitor lizards, the lizards better at catching them...

    It might not to you. Not everything posted on here is for your personal benefit, or debates your specific beliefs.

    The ones sold in pet stores are way smaller than they grow up to be; there might be some in ones near you and you just never took notice!

    The idea that evolution can simply "cease" for a population has been disproven, simply by the fact that environments inevitably change, rendering new adaptations beneficial. Even Triops and other organisms called "living fossils" have changed over the course of millions of years, just not as...

    You've Probably Seen a Fish with Lungs in Person

    Nay, this is but one species in an entire genus of fish like this. Not to mention fish in different genera that also have lungs, all with varying degrees of adaptations for utilizing them. Plus, there are also mudskippers; fish so well adapted to being on land that I wouldn't be shocked if you...

    I called it a "proof of concept". A lot of creationists argue against the existence of transitional species by claiming that certain combinations they view as necessary are physically impossible in a viable animal. This animal is a demonstration that an organism can have adequate lungs and...

    You've Probably Seen a Fish with Lungs in Person

    Polypterus Senegalus, a fish regularly available in pet stores under the name "Dinosaur Bichir". How many of you guys have seen this fish, never knowing that instead of a swim bladder that they have lungs? These fish belong to the only genus of vertebrates that have lungs, but no trachea. I...

    Evolution's Brick Wall

    -_- it's just caused by deposition of sediments on inclined surfaces like dunes by wind or water.

    No DNA from Flores man...why?

    The DNA wasn't retained in the bones of the Flores man but was in the Neanderthals on account of different circumstances the bones experienced. The Neanderthal bones were cannibalized, removing moisture from them, and left in a dry, cold cave. It is this unique combination of factors that...

    Wherein I catch a profession YEC in a lie 2.0

    Look, so little is understood about universe formation that the probability of our universe forming could have ranged anywhere from borderline impossible to inevitable. However, think of it this way: even if I had a ridiculously large deck of cards, and each card was unique, and I drew 5 cards...

    Is So, Is Not, Is Too

    Just sounds like you are making excuses for the lack of solid evidence for the deity you believe in. Be honest: are you this lenient about believing in anything else? If you read a book describing purple people eaters, and other people around you acted as if the book depicted a real monster...

    Evolution becomes theory, theory becomes word (Word becomes guide)

    I improved it somewhat, the original bugged me. After and NASA don't even work as a slant rhyme, AV.

    Evolution becomes theory, theory becomes word (Word becomes guide)

    Is, since the theory still exists, and there are multiple factors that contribute to evolution. Genetic drift, mutation, and natural selection are the most common ones discussed on here, with occassional references to sexual selection.

    Don't read too deeply into it, Gottservant just skipped out on his meds again. That's not a joke, he's mentioned needing to take medications relating to mental processes before. He must have been keeping up with the pills until recently, since I haven't seen him on here in a while.
