Are there still any evolution non-believers out there? Isn't this yet another nail in the creationist coffin?

Question

If so, I can't imagine how they explain fish that can live on land and breathe through their skin instead of their gills.

Yet another nail in the creationist coffin:

A tropical fish that lives in mangrove swamps across the Americas can survive out of water for months at a time, similar to how animals adapted to land millions of years ago, a new study shows.

The Mangrove Rivulus, a type of small tropical killifish, seeks refuge in shallow pools of water in crab burrows, coconut shells or even old beer cans in the tropical mangrove swamps of Belize, the United States and Brazil.

When their habitat dries up, they live on the land in logs, said Scott Taylor, a researcher at the Brevard County Environmentally Endangered Lands Program in central Florida.

They group together in logs hollowed out by insects and breathe air through their skin instead of their gills until they can find water again.

Answer 1

There are a lot of creatures that live on land and in the sea. This really proves nothing.

Answer 2

Rockskipper, Mudskipper, Lungfish........
Since you "can't imagine" the explanation for a fish that can live on land and breathe through their skin, I'll tell you. Some species have a labyrinth organ that takes air directly into the blood stream through the skin.
There are fish that can survive on land for 20 minutes. Some species can survive up to three days on land.

It's funny because the only witness mutations of DNA have always been into a lesser form from the origional DNA.

In fact you can pop a cell into a test tube and still not be able to create a cell.

But a bigger contradiction is the fact that people born with the alcaolism gene have the same charecteristics as actually building a tolerance to alcahol. This shows how this Bible quote is true, "the sins of the father will be passed down through the generations."

___Love comes from the soul. For if love came from a hormone, then it would come from with-in like adrenaline.

___People think that people imagine the feeling of love. That it’s a trick of the brain.



___Yet, love comes from where the people touch you, not from with-in like a hormone. If love were up to the perception of the user, then how come no matter what mood you are in,.. you still feel love. If you hate the person loving you, you may feel grossed out to love,.. but still feel the love. If love were up to the imagination of the user, then you could trick people into thinking inanimate objects are people hugging them.



___Now from what is seen here, we see that the soul has an energy that is independent of matter,.. but has side effects in matter. Hence the brain is specifically designed to react to the spiritual energies we emit. Depression is the lack of hope,.. witch leads me to the debate that post mortem depression is, "9 months of anticipation followed by a sudden realization of fear." Or, "9 months of feeling a baby that is a part of you (no stronger bond, then the bond of blood) followed by a dead baby."



___Now what do you say about the people who have felt God’s love? Being in God’s presence charges the soul and body. It’s called the renewing of the Holy Spirit. And this residual effect goes away when people travel down old thought patterns that contradict the perfection that is God.

Sadly enough, approximately 60% of the American public rejects the theory of evolution. This is the second-lowest in the civilized world, with Turkey in last. There are so many nails in the coffin of creationism that new space must be found. Yet, people will believe in creationism as long as they reject the evidence in favor of their delusional beliefs.

Answer 5

A frog starts life with gills, loses them, and develops lungs. A platypus is a mammal that lays eggs. Among seahorses, the male bears the young. This story tells me what I already knew: the natural world is an amazing place of unfathomable complexity. Thus mirroring its Creator. God bless you, and thank you for sharing.

Answer 6

Yes, the fish is fun. But, the article has been posted on here at least five times already tonight.

Answer 7

Someone's bored.

Answer 8

It is an interesting adaptation for sure. I have no problem with natural selection, or adaptations, or anything else within a species. That fact that this particular species has this particular adaptation still does not prove that it evolved from entirely different species.

Answer 9
