Actually,
Mickiel, we
did have gills at one point. Obviously. without them, we'd not have made it to being a land-based mammal, so we/you would not be here at all! This is now so easily shown with modern DNA genome mapping that you have obviously and conspicuously avoided learning
ANYTHING about. That's all far too sad, and too stubbornly intransigent.
Else, fact is, we'd not be here in the transitional forms we now temporarily inhabit (see: Cro-Magnon, Neanderthals, chimp offspring and other predecessors, which, so sorry old chap, even
you, the Great Pretender, cannot deny existed in far more primitive stages
(well, yeah, you can and will deny it, but you also have no basis in fact, and tend to grossly ignore established and documented facts... ho hum...).
Also, it's
an established fact that this earth did, in fact, exist in primoridal times as,
variously, a near-molten ball with very hot and uninhabitable volcanic activity, then a largely oceanic planet with an entirely different distribution of water and land, then as a
far warmer, and later, a
far colder, planet (early high-oxygen-and CO2 content atmosphere where jungle[type environs and dinosaurs happily existed, and later,
several ice ages. You want to fight those
facts? Tell me how, and where you get your astoundingly un-informed information from. As we like to say: Links please!)
But also, explain how penguins exist down in the very cold Antarctic (far more than just a few degrees different than the global averages), with no special clothes, and how so many new multi-celled organisms have been discovered in the last 2 years in the frigid waters of both the Antarctic and Arctic? If, as you assure us, life on this planet would die off if any of those supposed magic and absolute constants were altered by just a bit? You mean, of course, the human animal, don't you?
Well, there yah go, being super-arrogant about the purpose of life on this planet. As if it's all about
US. Now if things
had been significantly different, some other more adapted life form would dominate!
So, yup; perhaps we'd not have evolved to be here as we are now, but then again, we are HARDLY the
end-all and be-all here, now are we? (Except to
über-arrogant Christians, who place us above all "the lesser animals" How utterly chauvinistic of you all!) We're just one more transient species, so sorry to inform little old insignificant you!
Man is, in fact, nothing but a destructive and arrogant but poorly educated parasite here on the planet, whose only success to date is in ruining the eco-system at an alarmingly increasing rate.
The idea that your faker wooden God icon designed and created a planet just for us is
so easily disproved!! It's only been in the past several millennia that we could even hope to have survived in our natural (naked) state. Otherwise, our native
evolved intelligence has allowed us, even in the short time since you were born, to adapt. (See: Gore-Tex, metal alloys, space travel, electronics, lasers, weapons of war, synthetic goose down, styrofoam insulation, solar panels and convection heating systems, and so on. No help from God required not necessary to allow us to make ut here!)
As well, when we
do migrate out to the moon and on to Mars and eventually to other habitable planets, we'll do it by creating suitable "false" ecologies, again absent your fantasy God.
Get real
Mickiel! There is absolutely NO such thing as a "perfect planet design" here, only the highly transient one we've evolved to fit. For now. That's how it works, and is rather easily demonstrated to be exactly so by that very evolutionary process! Other fantasies are just that.
