Darwinism is full of tall tales, but the biggest whopper of them all is the idea fish left the oceans and became the first animals, filling a barren earth with animal life forms. We might call it the cosmic fish story.
Quotes and comments;
1. The non-evolution of Coelacanth:
“The fish provided an immediate link to our dim evolutionary past, resembling the lobe-fin fish that were likely the first to leave the water and take to land, ultimately begetting the amphibians, reptiles and mammals we see today, including the human race.” - Matt Walker [1.]
- In my humble opinion, this scenario is the biggest fish story ever told, and one of the biggest reasons I dumped evolution for creation. It's as silly as it is stupid.
How wildly impossible is it?
It's akin to saying birds left the air to become fish :=}
It's akin to saying lions left the Serenghetti for life as crabs on the ocean floor.
It's akin to saying books voluntarily left the library and threw themselves into the flames...
It's akin to a cup of tea turning itself into a cup of coffee. (Perhaps the cream went sour.)
It's akin to a jukebox turning into a potato chip dispensing machine.
It's akin to a salmon turning itself into a bear so it can gorge on blueberries.
It's akin to Hitler turning into a dove and flying off for the hills.
It's akin to a textbook turning into the word of God, utterly devoid of error.
It's akin to a dinosaur turning into a iceberg or a glacier.
It's akin to fire turning into water turning into earth turning into air.
It's akin to college professors all turning in their tenure for life as private tutors or wandering salesmen.
It's akin to all of our politicians suddenly telling nothing but the truth till the end of time.
It's akin to a cloud becoming a dragon, who then becomes a cloud again.
It's akin to a cat turning itself inside out and becoming a dog.
2. 'The narrator [of a video] claimed that the lobed fins “represent the first rudimentary legs which enabled the ancestral amphibians to drag themselves from the water, and begin the colonization of the dry land.” [1.]
- It's interesting that Darwinists like Walker can get fish to drag themselves from the water, while most of us can't manage to drag our teenagers away from the computer :=}
W note the equivocation of speaking of the 'colonization' of the dry land. (At the heart of Darwinism is an equivocation fallacy.)
Perhaps this sin of colonization is the reason these transformed fish later were forced to reenter the ocean. Perhaps it was a ruling from some equivalent of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
What caused the fish to drag themselves out of their watery beds for life on dry land?
Was it the promise of credit cards? A house in the suburbs? Cable TV? A McDonald's Happy meal?
Perhaps, as another other mountain climber remarked, the answer was simply, ''because it was there". (I do wonder though, who they used for Sherpa guides.)
Summary;
Did I convince you how silly I think this idea is yet?
It's not actually an idea (or theory) at all, but a necessary deduction from the basic theory. i.e. if the theory is true, this fish story has to be true. This isn't science but rationalist speculation and philosophy.
Q. How can non-creationists believe this? A. They have to.

Notes;
1.The Evolution of… Come Again? Creation/Evolution Headlines July 01/2011
- Even if the story were true it the C. wouldn't qualify as an 'immediate' link. If there are many quite large steps in between the Coelacanth and man, I see no reason to call it an immediate link.
- This is a sad way to write, as there's no way you should designate something as a fact when it's only speculation. This is a Darwinian story, and should not be presented as a fact. Only things people have directly observed even deserve consideration as facts.
2. At the heart of Darwinism is an equivocation fallacy.
3. The Coelacanth hasn't changed in its entire history, still hasn't learned to walk, and like this story, never will. It's amazing how Darwinists can turn stasis into evolution; it's as remarkable as fish turning into mammals.
Q. What enables all this to happen?
A. The power of story.
Natural selection isn't the driving engine of Evolution, the human imagination is; no miracle is impossible for it to accomplish.
