Did an ostrich ever die and come back reincarnated as a whale?
What's interesting about this statement is that its author clearly doesn't understand natural selection--and his preferred language strongly smacks of intelligent design.
Shhhh...Nobody tell A.Pole or Willie Green!
Another land animal that took to the sea for a while and evolved there was our simian ancestor.
It's the reason we walk upright. Check out your webbed fingers!
Simultaneously, large sea reptiles also became extinct. It created a vacuum in the sea as well as on the land. Thus there was a need of large animals, both on land and water, who could feed on fauna and flora to maintain the equilibrium.This sentence exhibits a very weak understanding of evolution. Here's a better way of describing what happened:
The exinction of sea dinosaurs and large sea reptiles created a vacuum in the sea as well as on land. Biological niches opened up for large animals, niches consisting of huge sources of unexploited fauna and flora. Whales evolved to fill some of those niches.
There is no "need" for anything in nature, and though equilibrium does occur, it is not "needed".
Are there crocodiles in Argentina today, or are they speaking of fossil crocodiles found in the territory of modern-day Argentina?
I'm an evolutionist, and all that, but I seriously doubt that whales evolved in India ... and not in some ocean somewhere.
India is taking over the evolution market now, too?!?
Its just going to piss me off thinking I am ordering an ostrich from ABC Warehouse and when it comes, its an emu and i can't send it back.
When's it all going to end?
