Evolution. Fish to Man? How in the world can fish breath in air?

Fish and humans both breath oxygen, or hadn't you heard.

There are fish today that can breathe air with primitive lungs... essentially a modified swim bladder...

Look up the lungfish.. water, then air is possible...or even at the same time...

Evolution = Slow changes over time...

Not every air breathing animal has had any reason to return to breathing water...

Wait a minute, this sounds like an old Hovind (Dr. Dino) claim... you aren't following that dip stick are you??? What a joke...

Trying to teach you evolution would be a waste of time as you obviously don't want to learn...

IMHO

Have you ever heard of the lungfish?

The lungfish can live out of the water for months.

When its native stream or lake dries up, an African or South American lungfish forms a cell in mud, leaving a small breathing hole, and curls its tail about its nose. Its skin secretes a liquid that looks like transparent plastic film when it dries. The film covers all but a small hole over the mouth and keeps the fish from drying out while it estivates. The lungfish can thus live out of water for months, and then resume active life when water softens the mud. African and South American lungfishes are slender-bodied and almost scaleless. They have pointed tails and stringy, tapering fins. The Australian lungfish, prized as food, grows up to six feet (1.8 m) long. It has a thick body covered with large scales, and short, stout fins.

What Fish Can Breathe Out of Water?

Actually, many fish can breathe out of water. But none is better at it than a lungfish is. A lungfish breathes out of water by using a lunglike organ called a swim bladder. Some kinds of lungfish can even survive in dried-up rivers for weeks or months.

Most lungfish, like the South American lungfish, have gills that are poorly developed. They breathe air mostly with their swim bladders. If one of these lungfish couldn’t reach the water’s surface, it would drown. However, the Australian lungfish breathes mostly with its gills. It gulps air at the water’s surface only when the water doesn’t have much oxygen in it.

Lungfish are one of a few bony fish that are able to control their fins as land animals control their limbs. Most fish can only raise or lower their fin rays. But a lungfish has joints that attach the fins to its body just as arms and legs are attached to a person’s body.

This is how you can have a fish that breathes.

Read up on science and evolution, they are fascinating.

Ever hear of amphibians? They can live on land and also in the water. Frogs are an example. And there are fish that can come on land and live for quite a while in their quest for food. There is plenty of overlap between water-breathing (gills) and air-breathing (lungs) creatures. Sorry, but water-to-air is NOT impossible. Remember that whales are air-breathers, for one thing.

Blessings on your Journey!

Sheesh, have you ever heard of the lung fish or the snakehead fish? There are fish living today that do exactly that.

Were you home-schooled by any chance?

Edit: We can breathe water. What do you think a fetus spends months breathing before it is born? Think, man. Have you ever considered studying evolution? That way you would not look like such a fool.

The water - to land transition began when water-dwelling animals began to take advantage of new niches on dry land. They eventually gave rise to amphibians, which spend part of their life cycle in water, could come up to land but was still heavily dependent on a water source.

Fish use oxygen just like land creatures, their gills just extract it from the water (recall that it is H20 - dihydrogen monoxide). If they weren't constantly submersed in water, it is easy to see that they would cut the middle man - the extracting gills - out.

Would it help if you started off your line of logic with the ancestors of air-breathing, water-dwelling animals like sea-turtles or dolphins or whales or frogs or alligators?

You're right, it's impossible! Like would you expect a human to live inside a whale, or a snake to all of the sudden have the gift of language?

Don't bother believing in evolution. After at least 3 research papers, lectures, interviews, and several articles on the subject, you wonder how on earth someone could come up with such a joke.

Nobody has lived long enough to observe fish evolving into a human.

Ken says fish and humans not related on the evolutionary scale; I thought they claim we are related to all animals.
