Fossil Called Missing Link From Sea to Land Animals

check it out.

The most interesting part of this discovery is observing the responses of proponents of ID.

Good lord, we're decendants of giant-headed fish with weird fins!!!!
Can someone explain to me HOW a fish can lead to a mammal? I mean, I always thought we came from a central source of bateria that broke off of each other, each one creating the different branches of animals: insects, birds, fish, reptiles, and mammals.

It's not a chain - that's how. It's a complex web. Not to mention the fact that if I remember my AP Bio class correctly, all life began in the seas because the land was too inhospitable.

This is really interesting, I'm reading it now.

Where did YOU go to school, son?

I'm still IN school ✅

Yeah, but I'm curious where. I've never heard that theory before.

There were some science shows I saw in the last year or so which proposed a really interesting idea...

Although "all life began in the seas" is still the standard model, it has been suggested--thanks to the extremophiles discovered during the last few years--that, because "the land was too inhospitable," life may've begun underground, even before there were seas. It has further been suggested that the vast bulk of the biomass on the planet Is underground, and that life on the surface is but a "thin smear" by comparison.

Life began in the dirt. Casts Adam being created outta clay in a whole new light. 😉

it's basically what Lana said

Interesting indeed good catch PVS, as far as life undergound that is much harder to sustain then life in the water. Could it happen maybe however its highly probable that life started in the water as it supports a wider array of life already.

Or maybe I am just crazy and don't know sh1t.

too bad we cant read whob's input on this...........

😂😂😂BWAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA 😂😂😂

haha take that you bible bashing hippies 😉

IT WAS PLANTED BY THE DEVIL TO TRICK PEOPLE INTO BELIEVING EVOLUTION! *HISS*

Well the actual "feet" on it are displayed as a drawing, so I feel safe in saying that it will be revealed in less than five years that they discovered:

an aligator!

Yes, I'm sure in five years they'll reconsider and declare it to be an alligator. Because, it's not like these scientists know what a fossilized alligator would look like or anything.

i love these theroies about evolution i saw tons of different show on these things LIFe began in the earth true true but no water???

What if an alligator was the first?
