this was like over 15 years ago but yeah i remember looking at these pictures when tadpoles and fish and then the fish grew legs and walked on land and then somehow turned into mammals

monkeys/apes whatever you wanna call em and then from there to humans

in our school science books

<:dogekek:726878872607653918> My god. A fish growing legs because... THAT MAKES SENSE. Fish evolved to STAY in water, but one day it was like: "I'm gonna grow legs now". Then it's a human??? Seems strange

meanwhile at home i was taught that God created us in his image so I had 2 completely different worlds being taught to me

never really thought about researching until recently

youve never seen the fish walk on land?

depiction

Epic, must have been confusing lol. And I can only think of fish walking on land if it was a science fiction movie

Oooof

the one i remember in science wasn't as dark and skeleton-ey. but it shows the same thing

It looks like an explanation of ancestry instead of evolution

Bruh I thought we came from anrst

*ants

how would that not be evolution

Idk I'm being sarcastic

im talkin bout the picture. if it's showing ancestry then that means evolution of some kind happened right?

if they're our ancestors

Well, everything started in water.

maybe

Evolution is when the same thing turns into something else, like Pokemon, but that chart looks like it's explaining how species branch off from each other over the years

No, its the only large solvent solution on the planet. So its pretty factual

so you think we evolved from fish?

Can't start life in earths air cause you can't mix the chemicals needed in air. (Yes air was way dif then but still)

Thats not what I said @Meryl.140.15

The big branch at the bottom of the image is how we're all related, but the sticks branching off from it is how we went our separate ways

i was asking a question because you said everything started in water

It did.

Even plants

Again. The reason for this is because h20 is a solvent and can hold the chemical compounds needed

While air cannot

That's why when we search for life on other planets, we look if the planet has water

i know life needs water to survive

i dont understand how talking about water means evolution is real?

Thats not what you were talking about.

You were saying we all came from fish

That was my retort

i dont think that, i was saying that's what i was taught in school

Correct. And I answered why thats a common misconception

So anyways. Now that we agree.
