Humans are suckers for a good story. So much so that the void of a good story will be filled by a bad one.. Some humans never grow up.. and lacking answers will grasp at straws to fill their story quota.. SOooo, they invented psuedo science.. to force the most loved storys to a logical end, at least a reasonable end.. which they dress up very professionally for to appear very serious. With eye glasses and everything..

Humans.!.. (Eddie Murphy laugh)

In the womb, for a short time, we all have gills.

"How about maybe the cucumber plant family??"

At first it was a possiblity -- until researchers concluded cukes lack the "curvature gene."

"Will one day our brains evolve into something useful in a higher creature?"

Yes. But, only if we are able to call other celestial bodies...HOME.

Human Gland Probably Evolved From Gills ^

Yep,.....Great Theologian was John Gills!

LOL

Merry Christmas Carols Joy!

Then surely gourds could be a possibility. :)

That's what we were told in high school biology, anyway.

Before you ask or comment - no, thank you, I don't wish to debate with creationists.

Jim, I'm an atheist, but I'll be damned if that doesn't almost make sense.

[VadeRetro]

Haeckel is one of their boogey men.

This article represents some of that evolutionary developmental biology ("evo-devo") which gets mentioned on FR threads sometimes. According to creationists, any idea of embryology relating to anything else is "discredited by science." Meanwhile, scientists haven't got the word.

It's time to get the HIGH boots on.

Once it was apes, then aardvarks and now fish. There's no telling what else we "evolved" from. LOL!

The lengths people go to to defy God is hilarious!

[shubi]

Yeah, I know. I am a biologist and a minister. ;-)

This is how evolutionists define science...

The human parathyroid gland, which regulates the level of calcium in the blood, probably evolved from the gills of fish, according to researchers from King's College London.

it is reasonable to suggest

experiments that show that the parathyroid glands of mice and chickens and the gills of zebrafish and dogfish contain many similarities.

Somebody explain to me how "probably" or "resonable to suggest" and "many similarities" constitute scientific evidence that human beings evolved from FISH!

[AQGeiger]

Well, of course, that's because it's only "science" if the study is being performed by a graduate of BTIT (Bible Thumpers Institute of Technology).

[shubi]

Really intelligent people know that evolution is a fact and the theory of evolution explains that fact.

"If sound science appears to contradict the Bible, we may be sure that it is our interpretation of the Bible that is at fault." Christian Observer, 1832, pg. 437

"Christians should look on evolution simply as the method by which God works." Rev. James McCosh, theologian and President of Princeton, 1890

[DennisR]

Oh good - the search continues for nonexisting "evidence."

[Hot Tabasco]

I was thinking of another organ that could have been used to suck oxygen while submerged on ones back. I can also submit proof of same as evidenced by one Lewinsky giving ah........never mind

[F16Fighter]

"Then surely gourds could be a possibility. :)"

Yeah, on 'Mutant Porno Planet' :-D

[balrog666]

Didn't we discuss embryonic gills a year or two ago - how does this play in? or would this be via some preliminary organ duplication in proto-land animals? Just spitballin' - balrog

Interesting quotations.
