Evolution Question

[DemocratSinceBirth]

I never understood the fish argument regarding evolution. Would somebody please explain it to me?

[DefenseLawyer]

1. The fish, naturally, all survived the Great Flood n/t

[NeedleCast]

2. Not sure I understand the question...what is "the fish argument"

[Silent3]

3. The fish argument?

Haven't even heard of it, unless you're alluding to the old "ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny" argument, which brings up points like human fetuses having gills during part of their development.

[RainDog]

27. a human fetus does not have gills

an embryo has gills.

a fetus does not exist until after 10 weeks of pregnancy, at which point the "gills" are no longer present and the "reptilian" brain has begun to develop.

sorry, but this terminology matters because of the anti-woman, anti-truth brigade.

4. Which argument involving fish? Fish are very diverse

and have been since the way way back.

Fresh vs salt water origins?
Conodonts?
Transition to land?
Evidences of adaptive radiation?

be more specific and there is a lot of help available

[TwilightGardener]

5. You mean mudskippers?

6. Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day. BUT.....

TEACH a man to fish and he'll call in sick a shitload more often.

[old mark]

11. ...BUT teach a man to fish and

he'll spend all day sitting in a boat drinking beer...

I love the variations on the theme....

[HopeHoops]

14. Um, yeah, that's the reason for calling in "sick".

Fishing isn't about catching fish - it is about drinking beer and napping.

[Shell Beau]

25. Is there any other reason to fish?

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

13. Give a man a fire and he'll be warm for the rest of the night.

Set a man on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

[HopeHoops]

16. Yeah, but if he pops open a piss-water lite beer, tittie babes in bikinis come out of the woods.

At least that's what they show on TV commercials. Bonus points if he's got a beer gut and hasn't shaved.

[Uncle Joe]

17. Old fishermen never die, they just smell that way. n/t

[Dr. Strange]

19. The irreducible complexity of the show Barney Miller...

(especially in regards to the spin-off involving Abe Vigoda's character) proves the impossibility of evolution.

[Oregone]

7. Are you asking about the Stickleback fish or something?

[tekisui]

8. Argument for or against evolution?

I am not sure I am familiar.

[slackmaster]

9. I like fish

And I have no idea what you mean by "the fish argument regarding evolution".

[uppityperson]

10. Do you mean the fish logo? Is supposed to represent Jesus and creationism

Ghoti spells FISH!

[Minnesota_Lib]

12. Fish sticks are created, not evolved from other lower forms of fish, therefore.....

....God works at Van De Kamp's. That argument?

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

15. Hey, athiests!

If there is no God, then who saved Jonah from the whale? Answer me that if you dare!

[sinkingfeeling]

18. I thought it was a whale or large fish that saved Jonah from drowning after he was thrown overboard.

If Jonah had obeyed his god, the angry god wouldn't have caused the terrible storm causing the crew to become frightened and tossing Jonah into the sea. Supposedly, god 'prepared' the great fish to keep Jonah alive and not to digest him until Jonah said enough prayers and then god had the fish vomit Jonah up.

So, if there is no god and wasn't any god back in the time of Jonah, Jonah couldn't have heard god tell him to go warn some sinful town about its upcoming destruction. Then there would have been no whale, Jonah wouldn't have run away on a boat, there would have been no storm and the crew wouldn't have thrown Jonah into the sea. So nobody was needed to save Jonah from the whale!

20. I waited all day to find out what the "fish argument" is!

Still nothing. :(

[targetpractice]

22. Me, too!

Just replying to track if anything develops. ;-)

[divvy]

21. Take a look at "Mudpuppies" they have legs.

I think it is called the "snakehead" but there is also a fish that walks on land from lake to lake.

[Tindalos]

30. Mudpuppies are amphibians, not fish

Are you thinking of mud-skippers? They're fish that use their fins to walk on land. There are other kinds of amphibious fish too.

[pipi_k]

23. The only fish I'll argue with are Bluefish, Catfish, and Salmon

Never did care much for any of them and I don't think they like me much, either.


Oh well, what can you do...


:shrug:

[daleo]

24. I had an arguement with a fish about evolution once

Talk about a waste of time.

[Brother Buzz]

26. Blind white fish in Persia?

The jury is still out.

[RainDog]

28. I've never heard of the fish argument regarding evolution.

[BlooInBloo]

29. I'm on a horse.

[Tindalos]

31. What is the fish argument?

I'd be happy to explain but I'm not sure what you're asking.
