That you know of...

But to your question, we know that creatures were not created in the sense that you are meaning because there are fossils that tell us otherwise. There is genetics that tell us otherwise too.
It's all about the conclusions one draws from those fossils and genetics.

No, it does not mean it evolved from a Chevelle or is some strange kind of intermediary. What it does mean is that a 76 El Camino evolved from a 67 El Camino. You have the fossil record in your hands. Intermediary fossils would be the 68, 69, thought to 76 models.

Let's look at the model T ford. See how it evolved year after year until what we have today. A very different machine bearing no resemblance to its early predecessor. Yet the semblance between a 2015 ford and a 2016 Ford is quite apparent. They even use many of the same parts. In fact, the model T is so different that one has to look at the equivalent of it's DNA record - the Ford company's own records.
But there wasn't some random process by which they did that on their own. There was a designer.

For those of you who may not know it, fish do not have a pelvis normally.


Isn't Evolution Grand?

They state in the article:

"It’s one of the most famous chapters in evolution, so familiar that it regularly inspires New Yorker cartoons: Some 375 million years ago, our ancestors emerged from the sea, evolving from swimming fish to vertebrates that walked on land."

The historical creation account has man coming from the soil, not the sea. The writers of the article have no proof all life on earth came from the sea. It is just their say-so without a shred of proof.

They also stated:

"The waterfall-climbing cave fish, Cryptotora thamicola, has even evolved many of the skeletal features that our ancestors did for walking, including a full-blown pelvis."

That is just their say-so. They didn't see that fish evolve. It is just their say-so. God created that fish the way it is.

Of course there is no doubt about evolution but it's interesting to see just how evolution works.
That is just their say-so. They have no actual proof it is a transitional animal. They never saw its progenitors evolve into this present-day fish.

It's all a lot of assumptions, really. Not a lot of actual fact...but a lot of guesses.

So true Vizio. And the sad thing is that the weak minded who are not trained to think critically, take whatever these so-called "scientists" say hook, line and sinker. If they say it proves evolution then, by golly, that is just what it is based solely on their say-so. This really reveals the dumbing down of the populace.

Don't be too hard on folks....I mean..it is what our public schools have taught for several generations now. There really is not any dissenting opinions regarding it that are given any credence. Kids are indoctrinated in the myths from a young age. It's all very sad.

Yes, I should be more understanding. I mean, the can't really help it since their indoctrination began at such an early age when they are like little sponges sucking up anything a teacher teaches them.

In junior high school a girl who sat next to me in my class challenged the teacher who was teaching evolution. He lambasted her in front of everyone and threatened her with expulsion and then made fun of her Christianity in front of everyone. So if any of the kids saw behind the curtain that this teacher was teaching a bunch of bologna and ratted his stupidity out, the rest of the class would know from then on what they are up against . . . a raging, threatening maniac.

They should be more worried about people like you. You can't help it though. You were indoctrinated and brainwashed by your teachers.
