Another transitional species found (ghost, quote, evolution, believe)

[cupper3]

Nature is amazing, and science helps us understand nature. Another transitional species has been found, and in this case it is not a fossil. It is a real live fish, which has fins and a pelvis to help it walk up waterfalls.

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


Isn't Evolution Grand?

There is already overwhelming evidence in favor of evolution. Anyone who still rejects it won't be persuaded by further evidence.

Maybe, just maybe, drip osmosis will finally sink in.

Yeah but one of their arguments is that there are no transitional fossils. Well, here we have a living example of transitional.

Of course there is no doubt about evolution but it's interesting to see just how evolution works.

I don't think any creationist who is familiar with the evidence would claim there are no transitional fossils. There are thousands, if not millions, of transitional fossils. My point is that the only people who make these claims are people who aren't familiar with or don't care about the evidence. More evidence won't persuade these people.

Creationists love it when a transition fossil is found because it turns one gap into two.

What makes you believe that this was evolved from another species?

cupper3 didn't say it did. It's a fish that has evolved a pelvis and can walk on all fours.

Anyone ever considered this to be a case of involution, not evolution? Or, we can think only one way? (told by others).
