All living things on the Planet Earth have a common ancestry. We all have DNA.

You have failed to zero in on my question. If animals are changing as you assert, then why areen't there any gradations (animals that are in transition from one species to another) or are you claiming (for example) that animals evolve abruptly from cell to a horse?
Actually there are fossil records of changes from one from to the other and there are also leaps from one form to another such as mutation, your understanding of evolution is childish at best. Just because there are not fossil records of every species on the planet doesn’t mean that you can not trace back the history of a species through genetic history. There are fish that are born with legs and during their growth are re-absorbed back into their bodies, that right there shows that they were a land based animal at one time.

With all due respect brother now you are being immature. Have you finally run out of steam? You have resorted to puerile remarks. It would have taken just as much effort to write an educated, intelligent response. I am disappointed in you (just this one time of course). Get back on the saddle brother and come up with a cogent (but concise) answer that makes sense. DNA is a "feature" of living things, not the cause of them.

I have noticed that you are at your most insulting when you call people brother. 😂

Then why didn’t you answer any of my questions if you want to stay mature, how do you explain the examples of animals showing reasoning, problem solving and learning? 😉

Where? Where are these alleged fossil records? Who has them? What is the name of the fish that is born with legs?

As for the fish I talked about that are born with legs (non-working) and then re-absorbs them I can't remember the name, I saw this on Discovery so I will have to find it.

Snake with legs

This is unlike you Shakyamunison, it is as if I have backed you into a corner. You have no more reponse pertaining to my posts. (I don't believe it).

Intent is everything. Once you gave up, I gave up. Call me bother is just an left handed insult.

What is a "left handed" insult?

Are you trying to divert the discussion to another subject if so, I wonder why?

Why do you feel that I am not being nice to you?

That tetrapod fossil is an amphibian (not part fish, part amphibian). It was never a fish.

That is just one example of showing the stages that you wanted proof of. As for it being an amphibian that is correct but do you know what an amphibian means? Simply put it is a cold blooded animal that live both in water and on land. Many amphibians are directly linked to their fish “cousin” by genetics and fossil records. Whales are an example of aquatic life that are born with pseudo legs that are not part of any function of the animal but is linked back to being an amphibian. You really need to watch more Discovery Channel and Animal Planet. 😉
