I watched a documentary today on evolution ...we all came from a fish?I'm sorry but i don't think so?

Question

what kind of moron would fall for such crap? im not pretending to know the answer but that theory is just ridiculas

sorry Pammikins, nice name btw,,i did not spell anything wrong...now how do you feel?

Answer 1

Don't be sorry, the truth doesn't depend on your thoughts.

Edit: you misspelled ridiculous, you genius.

"i did not spell anything wrong...now how do you feel?", eat those words. Now how do you feel?

Answer 2

What would make that "ridiculas"? If you paid much attention to it and watched it with an open mind you probably would have figured out that it is quite rational. It all starts with one pool of sludge. which after many many years (like thousands and thousands, I dont know exactly how much I do not claim to be an expert) it EVOLVES into microbials which EVOLVES into single celled organisms then EVOLVES and EVOLVES and EVOLVES some more till it reaches fish-like creatures. then after many years they learned to go on land. then they started living on land, then the land dwelling creatures began to evolve into what would be Dinosaurs and very small mammals, then the Dinosaurs went extinct due to whatever reason you want to believe and the mammals were able to survive. then the mammals evolved into something. Some EVOLVED into Ape-Like Creatures (Everyone says monkeys but what Darwin actually said was Ape-Like Creatures, This is because with evolution if some creature evolves it means that all un-evolved forms of that creature die off) then the Ape-Like Creatures EVOLVE to walk on two feet (this would be the start of humans...getting the idea?) then on and on till you get humans. Its a hard theory for people to believe due to the fact that we (human beings) have not really been around that long. Evolution isnt something that just happens in one day. it takes a heck of a long time. alot longer than human beings have been on the earth.

Answer 3

I think many people mis-interpret evolution. According to evolution, we definitely did not evolve from apes or monkeys, though that is a common misconception. Evolution certainly doesn't claim that humans evolved from a fish. Evolution says that we "diverged" from a common ancestor. That's not the same thing as evolving from apes.

Evolution does say that all species biologically evolve due in large part to natural selection. There are many, many examples of natural selection. Moths of a certain color, for instance, will survive in an area if their color allows them to camoflauge themselves against a tree or bush. A moth that stands out is more likely to be eaten. The effect on the overall moth population in that area is that those that stand out are eaten more frequently and are less likely to reproduce. Those that blend in can survive to pass on their characteristics to future generations.

I suggest you read up on the subject, and don't use one (apparently poor) documentary as your basis for opinion. I don't know which documentary you watched, but the people who made it might be extremists. Or they may be purposefully attempting to descredit evolution (it has happened), or they may just be idiots! :)

Answer 4

About 95% of all scientists and others who have studied science understand that evolution exists for all life, including humans. It might be hard for you to accept that humans are not the center of the universe, just a creature roaming this planet who may go the way of the dinosaur if we don't stop hating each other by way of religion.

Answer 5

Regardless of how you feel about it, the fossil record clearly shows that the first vertebrates to appear on earth were fish. Amphibians later - much later - developed from fish ancestors. Reptiles from amphibians. Birds and mammals from reptiles. Transitional species are well documented in each of these cases. Isn't your God big enough to design such a wondrous natural system? Mine is! Why do you insist that God do it your way or no way?

Answer 6

why? perhaps you think humans look nothing like fish. well, both are vertebrates, animals with a spinal cord encased in bones. compared to say, a redwood tree, we're quite similar to fish. our common ancestor with fish probably lived about 360 million years ago, which allows for a lot of change.

Answer 7

Wonderful, now go post that in the science section.

And fish? Oh, you must be referring to this:

There was a lot of different animals appearing at varying times.

Answer 8

Try reading the naked ape or the seven daughters of Eve. People believe from mythology tales or from what modern science can prove.

Answer 9

You watched the entire documentary and that is all you came away with? Or did you just happen to watch a 30 second part? Sounds like the later.
It is interesting to hear you think that to be crap but I bet you believe that, according to the bible, we are made from dirt. Now you want to talk ridiculous..........

Answer 10

And we all came from Adam and Eve, that isn't ridiculous?

Do some research before you make such statements.

Answer 11

Thank God there are still non-delusional people like you still left on earth. Why is it that teachers can freely spew loads of crap about evolution and the Big Bang and blah blah, but they get screamed at the second they say a word about God? It's just so stupid.
