Fiddle. My question is why did some fish leave the ocean to become land mammals and some land mammals leave land to become fish mammals ..... as we were taught.

And why did some apes evolve into man, while other apes remained apes.

LOL! They just jumped out of the water and waited for lungs to magically appear. Same as if we stayed under water long enough, we would evolve gills. These “professors” should demonstrate. LOL

Are you disputing that they did? Are you questioning the fact that cetaceans possess a vestigial pelvis?

SkyDancer: "My question is why did some fish leave the ocean to become land mammals and some land mammals leave land to become fish mammals ..... as we were taught."

Even today, some fish & other aquatic critters spend parts of their lives on land, and many land critters spend parts of their lives in water.
So why do they do it?
To find food.
To escape preditors.
And, that most powerful reason of all -- looking for love!

So once fish are spending some parts of their lives on land, then those which grow better lungs & legs get around better, find more food, and eventually, hey! Who needs that cold water anyway, why go back?

As for reptiles, birds & mammals which went the other way, the reasons were the same -- once you make your living in the water, then any new adaption to improve your swimming ability helps find more food, etc., etc....

Does that answer your question?

I’d like to see how they can explain the first DNA. DNA is so complex the number of permutations in it represents and incredibly large number.
