Why do Christians insist that atheists insist that men evolved from fish?
Answered By: Dawn (Pagan) - 9/24/2008 |

Because they don't believe in the Creator.
Simple.

Most of Ohio's 24 species of salamanders belong to either the Lungless Salamander family (Plethodontidae) or the Mole Salamander family (Ambystomatidae). Some salamanders retain gills throughout life. Others have both gills and lungs. Some start with gills and later develop lungs.
There you go. Thumbs-down means you agree.

Actually there are several species of fish that do live out of water for extended periods. Then there are those darned amphibians that need water to survive and reproduce, but can live on land.

Ultimately, it's irrelevant whether you "see" how it happens or not. People many times smarter than you and me DO see how it happens.

Fish? I think they meant to say that all life originated in the oceans.
Anyway, about those 'missing' points, scientists have not had enough time to uncover all the secrets of evolution, we've only been on the earth for a few thousand years, and there is only a handful people studying billions of years of evolution.

First of all, this has been going on for perhaps 4 billion years. Secondly, there is no "jump" from gills to lungs. There are many intermediate steps, and these intermediate steps ALSO have functions.
The fossil records show a fairly complete picture but you have to know what to look for. You have to devote years of study to pick out what has happened.
In the same way, if you never studied sculpture and I took you to a museum, statues from 300 BC, 300AD and 1200 AD and 1800 AD would pretty much all look the same to you.
All the subtleties would be lost.

What do atheists have to do with biological science??? Yes, a whole class of vertebrates called amphibians live as fish and breathe through gills when they are young, but live as terrestrial or semi-terrestrial forms and breathe with lungs as adults.

Bacause they want to stand by their self-righteousness!
Rom 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
Rom 1:21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
Rom 1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

Better yet they believe we came from no living material. which is impossible to do.science has tried for 50 years to produce life THEY CAN'T. and even if they did they put intelligence behind it.this is not evolution ; time,chance. no intelligence.

That would be biologists not atheists. I can see how you might be confused since you want to lump the educated together but they are different things.
There are animals that can breath both ways and that's how it happens.
I can't possibly hope to make up for 12 years of missed science education for you. You haven't got the slightest idea what the evidence even is, but you will say that you know better than the best scientific minds of the last 150 years. That's just silly.

It went from fish, to amphibians, to reptiles, to mammals.
I won't detail it all to you, since I do not have all the answers, but that's how it basically went. I'm sure if you ask this in the proper section (biology) you will get a much more satisfactory response.

Evolution is a Fact and a Theory
by Laurence Moran
When non-biologists talk about biological evolution they often confuse two different aspects of the definition. On the one hand there is the question of whether or not modern organisms have evolved from older ancestral organisms or whether modern species are continuing to change over time. On the other hand there are questions about the mechanism of the observed changes... how did evolution occur? Biologists consider the existence of biological evolution to be a fact. It can be demonstrated today and the historical evidence for its occurrence in the past is overwhelming. However, biologists readily admit that they are less certain of the exact mechanism of evolution; there are several theories of the mechanism of evolution.
Well evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape-like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered.
-Stephen J. Gould, " Evolution as Fact and Theory"; Discover, May 1981
Let me try to make crystal clear what is established beyond reasonable doubt, and what needs further study, about evolution. Evolution as a process that has always gone on in the history of the earth can be doubted only by those who are ignorant of the evidence or are resistant to evidence, owing to emotional blocks or to plain bigotry. By contrast, the mechanisms that bring evolution about certainly need study and clarification. There are no alternatives to evolution as history that can withstand critical examination. Yet we are constantly learning new and important facts about evolutionary mechanisms.

Technically, while not all Lungfish have lungs, they can breather air and water, although there is a species of lungfish that does have primitive lungs and it must breathe air or it will die, it also has primitive legs to suspend it out of the water.
Either way, we didn't evolve from fish. We evolved from a common ancestor with fish.

Point A and point B are one generation apart. So it's really point 1 to point 9x10^129, rather than point a to point z.

We do have evidence of a transition between a species with gills and a species with lungs. Other people have already covered that.
What I want to add is the fact that you cant expect us to have a perfect record of absolutely every thing that happened over every single second of the last 4 billion years. What the fossil record gives us are pictures into the past.
Consider the fact that you probably do not have tangable evidence that you were ever 9 years, 4 months, 13 days, 1 hour and 8 seconds old. What you might have is a photograph from your 9th birthday and a photograph from your 10th birthday. From those photographs, we can be reasonably sure that at some time you were 9 years, 4months..etc. The fossil record works the same way.
Also, don't forget that the fossil record is not the only line of evidence we have. In fact, even if there were no fossils, we would still know that evolution is true. Multiple independent lines of evidence from virtually all fields of science all converge to paint a very compelling and coherent picture that all life on earth shares a common ancestor.

No one can insist anything of the sort until someone travels back in time and video tapes it. Then all the arguing will be over. We will either have evolution documented or God will be appearing on Larry King.

I will never understand why people look here for information on controversial subjects such as this. You have your beliefs and other people have theirs. End of story! You did not post seeking some sort of enlightenment, you posted to see what sort of religious debate you could get going. Do your own logical and informed research and form your own opinions. There are hundreds of different religions as well as non-religious people around the world. Post again when you have 100?omplete scientifically proven data that your beliefs are actually the only true way..then maybe I can take you seriously

It is not to say that man came directly from fish, but it is generally known that all life started in the oceans and moved on to land from there. Even Genesis tells you that. There is a creature called a lungfish you might want to look up.

They don't. Atheism is not about evolution. It's just a lack of belief in God. Period. They don't need an explanation for this. You do.
