The topic is the ToE and the non-existence of any controversy about it. Bible proselytizing is another thread.

You believe in a book of fables. That's OK. But it ain't science.

Sounds like congressional seniority at work...

I do believe you need to read up on human development. Fetuses develop gills inside the womb.

Well, it would if the junior members ended up with all the power and plum assignments, and then they were shoved more and more out of the picture the longer they served...

As it is, the old ones get to slough off and spurt smoke from their fissures.

That is not my place to do so. I respect Christianity and Christians. However, it has nothing to do with the debate on evolution.

And before it gets brought up again:

Evolution makes no attempt to explain the origins of life. That is a science known as abiogenesis. And, the Big Bang has nothing to do with evolution. The Big Bang is astrology. Evolution is biology.

If we are here to debate the validity of evolution, keep it to evolution. Don't bring other sciences into it.

...Fetuses also have tails in early development and their hands/feet first develop as paddle-like appendages before the development of fingers/toes....these paddles look strikingly like fins.

....hmmmm....I wonder why that is?????

Wrong. You need to learn some more about embryology. Humans in the embryonic stage do have gills (also known as gill arches or pharyngeal arches Pharyngeal arch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ) These structures are homologous to the gills in fish. Fish and humans share genes that control the development of these structures. And why do fish and humans share such genes? Because they both evolved from a common ancestor.

In the adult human, the gill arches develop into the muscles and other small structures of the face, neck, and throat.
