Fossil Fish

[Igotmagic]

ok im going to state some facts...

a tiktaalik was caught by a poor fisherman in 1929... but you say... "wait a minute, didnt they evolve into land animals?" well no...

plus tiktaalikis just a neerly exticted kind of fish... it had gills... it couldnt breath of land... so... were did the breathing come ? can a human say.. wow i really want to swim with the fish... are we growing gills? nope nope nope

"a tiktaalik was caught by a poor fisherman in 1929..."

Where is the location, the fisherman, and the documentation that shows this actually happened?

"plus tiktaalikis just a neerly exticted kind of fish..."

Where have we found any living specimen?

"it had gills... it couldnt breath of land..."

Betas have gills, and they can breath air. Lungfish have a modified swim bladder with gill-like tissue that allows it to breath air. Amphibians have lungs, gills and breath through their skin.

I thought you said you were going to state some facts. I don't see them.

*sigh* your so ignorant

[Cnidarious]

Sorry pal but you made a huge error.

No one has ever caught, or ever seen a live Tiktaalik.

Tiktaalik was discovered in islesmere island

a largely uninhabited region just a few hundred kilometers south of the North pole. Your talking about the coelacanth latimeria.

And your still in error even there. Latimeria is not the same species of Coelacanth that existed in prior eras.

One more thing.

Plenty of Amphibians are gilled, and remained gilled. You have stated No fact what so ever.

This does not prove anything, it just proves that a species of fish had legs.

[majorvoltage]

The importance of Tiktaalik is that it is intermediate between earlier lobe finned fishes like Eusthenopteron and the more advanced 'fishapods' like Aganthostega and Ichthyostega. Wo know that tetrapod limbs are homologous to the fins of lobe-finned fishes, but tiktaalik provides us with a glimpse of the transition between fins and limbs that helps us understand exactly how the skeletal structure was adapted from swimming to the new function of walking on land.

[majorvoltage]

I bungled up some spellings in there. That should be Acanthostega, not Aganthostega.

LOL wow you creationists are funny. He not only had legs but a flat head he was a half amphibian half fish get over it Evolution 134343 Creation 0

[cpcsirjoerox]

Wasn't there a bunch of paleontologists awhile ago that disagreed with it as being a missing link??? They weren't creationists or any thing I think they just totaly disagreed with it. I remember watching some thing on sky tv. There argument was prety good. But any way its an alryt vid.
