Tiktaalik
Fins to feet fairy tale
It was definitely the biggest adventure of my life...
Tiktaalik serves as a prime example of evolution
propaganda.
The world of mainstream science presents a fully
metaphysical fairy tale as science to the world.
According to Sci-News it is labeled
"the best-known transitional species between fish and land-dwelling tetrapods".
The HHMI BioInteractive promotional video
reveals a lot about the people behind Tiktaalik.
Neil Shubin is the
evolution crackpot who discovered it. In this video, also published by PBS under the title
'Amazing Places, Amazing Fossils,' he says
"we dug, hoping to find the fossils we were looking for." In another video called
on the Evolutionary Step from Sea to Land,
after explaining how intrigued he was by the fantastic evolutionary
just-so story of water-to-land evolution he said
"my goal was to find new evidence that tells us about how it happened". It is obvious that evolutionists like Neil desperately hope to find
transitional fossils, they always did.
The University of Chicago payed "professor" Shubin to make expeditions to the Canadian Arctic in order to find something like this.
But as William James wrote...
That the belief in evolution will help create the "facts" for evolution is the result of paradigm paralysis.
Check the following fanatic evolutionist promoting the fantastic fairy tale called Tiktaalik...
And here's how mainstream science organizations treat evolution crackpots like Neil...
Calling the three-part, prime-time PBS special Your Inner Fish an
"enthralling examination of the ancient animal ancestry in the
fossil record and in our own bodies," the
National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine named
Neil Shubin, the Robert R. Bensley professor of organismal biology and anatomy at the University of Chicago. ...
"We enjoyed an embarrassment of riches this year, with outstanding entries representing a tremendous diversity of scientific subjects," said
May Berenbaum,
NAS member and chair of the communication awards selection committee,
and professor and head of entomology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
"Choosing the best among the best was difficult but the winners are exemplars of how excellent popular science writing can make
complex science understandable, relevant, and thoroughly engaging." ...
Your Inner Fish has also been nominated for two Emmy awards, for graphics and for science.
This is how the world of mainstream science functions and operates.
Today computer generated images of Super-Tiktaaliks fly out of the water with a narrator saying things like
"primitive air breathing lungs kick in, simple wristbones propel them off the ground, this amazing creature is the first vertebrate to walk on land" with heavy music in the background to make it all very impressive.
So obviously this evolutionary fairy tale is presented as yet another fact of evolution to the world by the world of mainstream science. The Smithsonian has an article titled
'Did the Evolution of Animal Intelligence Begin With Tiktaalik?'.
It says that "Tiktaalik roseae had fish-like fins, a flattened skull similar to a crocodile".
This simply reminds us of the fact that Tiktaalik, like all imagined transitional forms, is based on
metaphysics. This is of course obvious in all these kind of propaganda videos so heavily promoted by mainstream science...
In a video called 'Your Inner Fish part 1' "professor"
Neil Shubin says "There are deep connections among all life forms on this planet". In
'Your Inner Fish part 2' he goes on to explain that "a human arm resembles the fin of a fish".
Yes, and a banana looks more like a boomerang than like a frisbee and therefore it is more closely related to the boomerang, right?
Similarities and differences simply don't mean anything. It's pure metaphysics.
Everything evolutionary "professor" Neil says comes down to similarities of this or that. The "University" of Chicago says
"Tiktaalik has a mix of fish and amphibian traits. Tiktaalik looks like a cross between..." and
"Tiktaalik shares anatomical features with both primitive fish and the first tetrapods".
Pure metaphysics.
Wikipedia says "many features akin to those of tetrapods".
BBC says "Tiktaalik is considered pivotal because it has many features that look half-way between fish and land animals".
The Guardian says "aquatic features mixed with others more suited to life on land".
NPR says "Tiktaalik bridged the gap between sea living and land living creatures, and played an important evolutionary role on our journey to becoming human".
This stuff of course reminds of frogs turning into princes.
What is missing in all these fantastic fairy tales believed by so many around the world is of course the
science because science can not offer any evidence for a transition from one unique species into another.
So-called transitional forms are completely based on
metaphysics.
Reality
Zachełmie tetrapod footprints in Poland
The oldest known tracks of a four-limbed land animal could rewrite part of vertebrate evolution. ...
This would mean that large, land-roaming tetrapods would have coexisted for 10 million years with the elpistostegids — including Tiktaalik roseae,
which lived 375 million years ago — a group thought to mark the transition of from fish to land-roaming animals.
If the scientists behind this new research are correct then tetrapods evolved much earlier than we previously supposed,
and what we have taken up till now as the general evolutionary sequence of forms in early tetrapod evolution are actually disparate forms which are
part of a more complex radiation of early tetrapods. In this case, as the authors note, creatures like Tiktaalik did not quickly give way to
early tetrapods but lived alongside them for 10 million years or more.
Paleontologist Jennifer Clack said
"we thought we'd pinned down the origin of limbed tetrapods, We have to rethink the whole thing".
Nevertheless the evolution propaganda machine is working overtime to sell this fantastic
metaphysical
just-so story to the world as another one of its many so-called
"facts" of evolution.
And in the meantime evolution crackpots at for example the "University" of Chicago stick feathers up each other's asses.
Hardcore reality
Handfish propel themselves by walking on the sea floor rather than swimming.
Fossils from the
Eocene show they haven't undergone any evolution for
many millions of years.
Gobies are so-called bottom-dwellers and they haven't undergone any evolution for at least
34 million years. It's cousin the
mudskipper is a completely amphibious fish that can use its pectoral fins to walk on land.
Another unique and completely functional animal.
The alligator gar is a primitive ray-finned fish and has an
alligator-like appearance and an elongated snout. Fossils from the
Eocene show they haven't undergone any evolution for at least
47 million years.
Other fish have flat heads. The
Crocodilefish for example.
All of them are fully functional and unique life forms.
Flying fish can make powerful, self-propelled leaps out of water into air,
where their long, wing-like fins enable gliding flight for considerable distances above the water's surface. Another fully functional and unique animal. Their
fossils from the Middle
Cretaceous
Cenomanian Stage show they haven't undergone any evolution for at least
95 million years!
Etcetera. Evolutionists systematically leave out the most logical and scientific explanation, namely that newly found
fossils are unique life forms unrelated to any other. Just a simple fact.
