Who cares? They gots fish bottoms. What can I do with a fish?

Nice way to address the believers whose only argument seems to boil down to "I believe because I want to believe". The trouble arises when they actually convince themselves there's a logical reason for their faith. Or that religion isn't hurting anyone else.
Many a sober Christian would rather admit that a wafer is God than that god is a cruel and capricious tyrant.

All mammalian aquatic species have vertical tail fins. Mermaids have horizontal tail fins.
So they wouldn't be mammals, which would rule out the capacity for spare cranial development.

Who made such an outrageous claim? Mermaids are real, or Disney wouldn't use them in their films. End of argument.

If you added one more "really", do you think you'll get them to think harder? ;-)
Eleventy, according to Genesis 6,7, this 'god' drowned all the babies in the world during what amounts to a godly temper tantrum.
I'm just not impressed with those kinds of cosmic credentials. No true God would behave in such a way, yet this bible requires me to believe that one did.
Not going to happen. If I'm to worship a God, it had better be one I can respect.

It's really hard for me to imagine a fish and a human producing together and presto! You have a half-human who can breathe underwater.
Perhaps I am too cynical.

They exist in a fictional sense. Were you thinking of starting a religion?
