"FISH, n. [L. piscis.]
1. An animal that lives in water. Fish is a general name for a class of animals subsisting in water, which were distributed by Linne into six orders. They breathe by means of gills, swim by the aid of fins, and are oviparous. Some of them have the skeleton bony, and others cartilaginous. Most of the former have the opening of the gills closed by a peculiar covering, called the gill-lid; many of the latter have no gill-lid, and are hence said to breathe through apertures. Cetaceous animals, as the whale and dolphin, are, in popular language, called fishes, and have been so classed by some naturalists; but they breathe by lungs, and are viviparous, like quadrupeds. The term fish has been also extended to other aquatic animals, such as shell-fish, lobsters, &c. We use fish, in the singular, for fishes in general or the whole race."

Shoulda jumped in her sooner. Webster's 1828 is online. As usual we have a creationist equivocator doing a bit of quote mining.

He actually quoted that entire definition already. Somehow, he thought it helped his case...

Sorry, but I couldn't stand reading everything. It was interesting to find the online dictionary.
I'm always amused by people who think dictionaries define reality, as opposed to common word usage.

You want a fish?
This is about all this thread deserves with whales = fish.

The loggerhead turtle. Properly classified as a fish.![](http://images.google.com/images?q=tbn:7c8lNhDzMGkJ:http://cars.er.usgs.gov/Education/sldshw/manatee/m0003.jpg)

Unlike you, I never felt the need to reject one to accept the other. If you are so willing to extrapolate a rejection of science from a commitment to question science, who knows what other ideas you are able to extrapolate out of whole cloth.
. . . the microwave experiment . . .
Thank you for refreshing my memory about the context. That thread included not only the matter of how we can measure whether the speed of light is constant, but also the assertion on my part that most people take the word of others as true when they declare what the speed of light is. I stand by that assertion. While most people may have a magnetron in their home, they do not typically use them to measure the speed of light. Maybe they do in your neighborhood. May I ask whether science had discovered the entire electromagnetic spectrum?
All the laws and theories of physics have no meaning in such conditions.
So we've moved from a condition in which the laws of physics do not apply to a condition in which they do. Was this a transition so sudden that the speed of light instantly assumed a constant rate? It seems to me a more reasonable view is that it changed at an exponential rate from the very moment there was such a thing as light. May I ask, how long has mankind been measuring and recording the rate of pulsars? Over what percentage of the earth's history?

I was searching for a picture and I came across Ester Williams. She was a very beautiful fish.
All this talk about fish...Jung would have a field day.

Is that a non-fish or a non-animal? If it's a fish, it's not an animal, right?
