Just where, or from whom or what, did you learn biology?
Sure. In them famous embryology fake pics.
Because that is where this supposed "missing link" was found.
"Because that is where this supposed "missing link" was found."
Are you saying that Ethiopians are somehow closer to this *missing link* than other humans?
I give the Great Commoner his due.
Why would a whale need gills to be a fish?
Only in a narrow definition.
In the broad definition, a whale is a fish, since he is in the sea.
Whale: Any of the larger fish-like marine mammals....(Compact Oxford English Dictionary)
By the way, you still haven't gotten around to telling us how many legs a locust has, whether a hare chews its cud, whether bats and birds are the same, and where the evidence for a world-wide flood is.
I guess you haven't been looking to hard.
Since you won't believe what is clearly shown by God's creation,(Ps.19), He is under no obligation to reveal anything else to you.
(Rom.1:20-32)
D'oh!
"Your world frightens and confuses me! Sometimes the honking horns of your traffic make me want to get out of my BMW.. and run off into the hills, or wherever.. Sometimes when I get a message on my fax machine, I wonder: "Did little demons get inside and type it?" I don't know! My primitive mind can't grasp these concepts. But there is one thing I do know - when a man like my client slips and falls on a sidewalk in front of a public library, then he is entitled to no less than two million in compensatory damages, and two million in punitive damages. Thank you. |
See definition by OED.
To be a fish. She'll also want to pick up some scales, ditch the milk duds, start laying eggs, and stop generating so much body heat.
I must confess that I have been a fish on many occasions but am not now and promise not to do it anymore.
" See definition by OED."
The OED does not say a whale is a fish.
Nope. My contention is that the physical makeup of humankind has been generally consistent from the day the first man was created. Geographically speaking it is fairly obvious that, since the find was in Ethiopia, it is closer to the people who live there than I am. It might, however, be the skull of the original Gilligan they found; evidence of a three-hour tour gone awry.

"My contention is that the physical makeup of humankind has been generally consistent from the day the first man was created. Geographically speaking it is fairly obvious that, since the find was in Ethiopia, it is closer to the people who live there than I am."
Why would that be? The people of Ethiopia are no more or less like this find than you or me.
Good LORD... did you post that in jest???
even IF cetaceans (whales, porpoises) were indeed fish instead of mammals... they'd STILL be animals (and chordates), rather than plants, fungi, monerans.
That said, *every* physical characteristic of cetaceans indicates they are mammals, not fish.
you might believe that the Linnean system is "playing with words", but it is interesting that his system is generally supported by modern genetics.
Kingdom - Phylum - Class - Order - Family - Genus - Species
If you are going to dispute them, at least do everyone (yourself included) the courtesy of knowing what they mean, and in what order they are ranked.
*shaking head in stunned amazement*
