When you produce a sticklefish that develops legs and walks on land, or starts breathing air, let me know

Here's a fish that walks on land and breathes air.

I take it that since your challenge has been met, you will concede you lost the argument.

I do believe he said "sticklefish" (stickleback) that walks on land, is that a stickleback?

I don't concede anything. From what did the snakehead evolve and can you prove this? As far as I know, the snakehead may always have existed as a snakehead or something very similar. My challenge is to show me something that exists as a fish today and tell me when THAT fish develops legs.

I guess you just don't get the point that I don't automatically assume that just because an existing creature has certain characteristics that it automatically is related to or evolved from another creature that may have some similar characteristics.

What I don't understand about you folks - you for example, is why you cannot simply accept my earlier proposition, which is to state that this is simply your BELIEF. There is nothing wrong with that and I don't care that you BELIEVE this. Other people BELIEVE other things - as you know, there are many people who believe that creatures such as the snakehead were specifically created, and that all the plants and animals that exist today basically always existed in their general form (aside from the relatively minor variations of size, color, armor or unarmored. That too, is a BELIEF and for all I know, maybe they're right. Maybe those folks who postulate that earth was seeded by aliens are right. Maybe someone else has another idea, perhaps evolution through catastrophe, that is "right". At this point, no one KNOWS what is "right". Therefore we should all state that these are beliefs. Personally I don't know how creation came about or how various species came into being. I simply say that....I don't know.
