As far as we can tell, life began in the ocean. At some point, life left the ocean and all the various land animals branched off. In one of the crazier chapters in our evolutionary history, a fish learned to walk and breath air. Now, [url=http://www.nature.com/news/how-fish-can-learn-to-walk-1.15778?WT.mc_id=TWT_NatureNews]scientists get to see first hand how they did it[/url]. Certain fish have both lungs and gills, allowing them to live outside of water, but they aren't particularly good at getting around. It turns out, if you force them to live on land, they can adapt quite nicely, and even undergo significant changes even in their lifetime to adapt to the environment. This shows that the idea of an ancient fish making it's way on to land and transforming into the variety of four-limbed creatures we know today isn't far-fetched at all. To the contrary, it's far easier than we ever thought.

I'll believe it when I see it. For now, evolution is just a big lie created by the devil to indoctrinate the youth.

Learns to walk better. The particular fish was already capable of moving on land (Short distances and not very well)
-
Knew it
-
Simpsons had it right.
-
The fish species called Snakefish can walk, using their fins, and they even have a lung to breath air. Look them up if you don't believe me.

First we christians beleive in micro eveloution. 2nd there is a big differnce in a stronger muscle movement on land and it turning into us. 3rd if i confined you to almost entirely water your muscles would probrably improve to your aquatic enviornment also. 4. There are several animals such as giraffes that defy eveloution. 5. Why is there such a lack of transitory fossils. You would think they would be everywhere but we find very few. 6. I could go on and on but i gtg. Cya

Now we just need to speed up their reproduction process and we can have Jurassic park.
-
I'll be the first to say that a walking fish sounds weirdly adorable...
-
If I ever see i flying shark i going to find the scientists who made it.
-
It's pretty damn sad these atheist resort to cheap CGI videos to try to prove their bullshit evolution.
-
I have forced a fish out of water but it just flopped around...hmmm...maybe I'm not doing it right.

Lies, earth is 6,000 years old idiot

Can't wait to try Walking fish at my local chinese restaurant
-
As I've said, White People evolved from aquatic life and Blacks from Monkeys

Started a new topic: Scientists force walk out of water, it learns to fish
-
Indeed, but can it fly?
-
Thanks for the post.
-
Now if we could just stop being the only species that protects the weak.
-
Wow I never thought I would see this in my lifetime. Now all we have to do is clone dinosaurs from their bones
