Thread: Dolphin found with remnants of hind legs

Discovery Channel :: News - Animals :: Dolphin With 'Legs' Found

Some will say this is proof of evolution, others will say this is gods way of testing our faith. I say the oceans are so filthy that the dolphins are attempting to return to land after 50 million years.

I wonder what makes them so sure they're "remnants" when the could be the next evolution in dolphins...

the article said it had two sets of fins...not legs

Fossil remains show dolphins and whales were four-footed land animals about 50 million years ago and share the same common ancestor as hippos and deer. Scientists believe they later transitioned to an aquatic lifestyle and their hind limbs disappeared.

Oh... =P

the article said it had two sets of fins...not legs

Right, but they could be the "remnants" of legs; just as the article says.

Or they could just be a randon mutation such as if I had six fingers.

Conservative, God is testing your faith. If a dolphin walked out of the ocean onto a beach people would say god is testing our faith.

Here's my theory. After God created life evolved.

That's the belief I had when I was Christian. It's called Theological Evolution.

Another nail in the creationist coffin.

It was, as they said, probably a mutation that caused the trait to resurface.

If you look closely, the fins resemble Jesus! That'd be worth a buck eighty on Ebay! ~Inky
