Are humans really evolved from fish?

Answer 1

no, humans aren't evolved from anything. they were created by God.

Answer 2

It could be said that humans evolved from fish, just as humans evolved from the first bacteria. All organisms are related to others in some fashion, but with organisms most people would call fish, the tree leading to humans split off hundreds of millions of years ago. Loosely the "family tree" looks something like this. Fish gave rise to amphibians, amphibians gave rise to reptiles, reptiles gave rise to pelycosaurs (mammal like reptiles), and finally pelycoaurs gave rise to the first mammals some 250 million years ago.

All that being said, I don't think it's correct to say that humans evolved from fish, despite what some people here would have you think, humans evolved from a primates, with the first branch of the tree starting around 6-7 million years ago. Fish were just a stepping stone as it were to all land based fauna today.

Answer 3

Absolutely not. We were created in Genesis from God. Fish are not complex, thinking beings. Humans are. If we evolved that much since fish then why aren't we super humans by now? Why do we only live to be around 100 years old?

Answer 4

Well technically everything evolved from the same thing in the very beginning, so all living organism share some sort of commonality. Fish eventually led to amphibians, to reptiles, to birds, to mammals, etc. so I guess in a way we sort of did evolve from fish but in a very distant way.

Answer 5

If we evolved from fish and reptiles, how come there are still other fish and reptiles around, why aren't they humans? Not only that but I thought we started off as monkeys? Or was that after the whole fish thing?

My whole outlook on that is we weren't created by chance, which we weren't, than we were created by God.

Not only that but I was watching something last night on the discovery channel and it went through the whole process. If we kept on getting smarter and smarter, so smart that we out smarted other animals and we could properly defend ourselves, than why are some of us so stupid?

Answer 6

yes we really evolved from fish

Answer 7

No way!

Evolution is just like other science... wrong! wrong! wrong!

Like electricity... it's really God (or sometmes Satan) that makes computers work, not "electrons".

And how about this one:

The Kansas Board of Education voted today to eliminate mandatory teaching of the theory of evaporation from schools across the state. Most scientists believe that water and other liquids are spontaneously converted by so-called evaporation into the form of a gas, and carried off into the atmosphere. This, they say, is the explanation behind sudden disappearances of water all across the state.

Many non-scientists, however, stand by the widely accepted theory that a lovable invisible two-headed thirsty blue giraffe named Clarence is responsible for the disappearances. The two theories, evaporation and Giraffism, will now be taught on a more equal footing to school-children across Kansas. Parents are pleased, saying that Giraffism is easier to understand and far more comforting to small children. "There's nothing happy about evaporation," says Frank Nubbins, father of Jason, 6, and Sue Ellen, 4. "Clarence the giraffe is blue, and he's lovable. You can't say that about evaporation, that's for sure. I love my children."

"Nobody has ever adequately explained evaporation," says Dr. Harold Thumper, of the Kansas Board of Education. "With evaporation, we're expected to imagine that water just disappears, all by itself, with no rhyme or reason. That's ridiculous."

Clarence the lovable invisible two-headed blue giraffe, on the other hand, is always thirsty, an explanation which is simple and obvious. He has a well-established presence in children's literature. "Every culture on the planet," says Dr. Thumper "has a story about giraffes, or thirstiness, or lovable blue things. Most of these have happy, happy endings. My children just love these stories. But I challenge you to find a single good story about evaporation."

The theory of evaporation is getting a dry reception in academia these days. At leading universities including Harvard, Stanford, and MIT, it's impossible to find a single professor of Evaporation on the faculty. "What's the point?" says Gwen O'Malley, dean of the Harvard Medical School. "It's not exactly a good career move to spend your life trying to explain evaporation to people."

Answer 8

No, well, I guess some religions believe that, but I believe that we were all created by God, and did not Evolve from anything. However, It would ot be fair to say "No we do not," because you could offend other religions.

Answer 9

Speaking of electricity, after reading many of the Creationists arguments here and elsewhere, I decided to see how their logic and tactics work on other fields besides evolution. The following is one result.

The average homeowner feels they can trust the professional
electrician who wired their house to know what he's doing. Most
electricians have had formal training or years of experience in their field of expertise, and that's good because you trust them with the safety of your home and the lives of your family.

But how much do they really know about electricity?

Some of the things they think they know are nothing more than
circular logic or assumptions based on assumptions! This has led to some very wrong thinking and has to be corrected time and time again, yet they claim to have all the right answers on matters electrical.

For example, ask an electrician how they know how much voltage is in a circuit. You'll be told about the magic little box called a voltmeter which can wondrously measure the invisible, odorless, weightless electrons and give the voltage. How do they calibrate this device to be so accurate? They run voltage through it and set it to match! Of course, you can clearly see the voltage they run through it would be known because it had been measured by a voltmeter, and on and on in a prime example of circular logic.

The truth is they don't even care enough to change major mistakes when they find them. When they first started their arcane art, they guessed at which direction the electrons were moving and assigned the familiar positive and negative signs according to that - but they got it backwards! A century or two later, they decided they had it backwards but did not bother to change it except when working on things like designing computer chips. They'll tell you "it's good enough" or "it doesn't matter" when it comes to your home, but since when has completely backwards from reality been good enough on something as deadly as electricity in your home? What if a gunsmith told you backwards doesn't matter when shooting a gun?

Electronicists are often at a loss when confronted with evidence that doesn't fit their beliefs. Light bulbs are not actually "light bulbs" but dark absorbers. When you turn them on, they suck the dark out of the room. You can prove this by holding your hand under a "light bulb". The dark will stack up under your hand where its path to the absorber is blocked by your hand. When they quit working and turn a dark color, it's not because they burnt out, it's because they're full. I once explained this to an electrician and he was at a complete loss for anything to say. I could tell by the way his shoulders were convulsing as he walked away he was sobbing, and he avoided talking to me about electricity from then on. I didn't bother to tell him that
electrons don't really exist (they have never been directly observed by anyone), but that electricity works with magic smoke. If you touch the wrong two wires together, the magic smoke leaks out and the circuit stops working.

By now it should be clear to the objective reader that electricians may think they know about electricity, but it's really nothing more than the guesses they've been taught to believe as fact by the self interests that controls the electrical industry. In any of the "official" codebooks and research journals they refuse to publish anything from outside their secular clique so they keep control of all information on the subject, even going as far as convincing lawmakers to force their beliefs on the public. More and more communities even have laws requiring all electricians to be approved by the secular code and forced to follow the Electronicism dogma in their work!

Answer 10

yes. Our limbs are actually evolved from fish fins. and our middle ear is evolved from gills.
