It'd be far more accurate to say that all animals descend from the common ancestor of sponges and, well, everything else. The question is "How derived are sponges?" Are they quite different from the first animal, a highly specialized descendant, or are they barely modified?

 

While I don't know much of the details on the subject, the existence of the ampiblastula (sponge larval form, more or less) seems to indicate to me that there might well be more to the story than just "sponges have always been sponges".

I was going to ask the same thing.

 

I don't see any way around it' date=' I am taking an Anthropology/Arcaeology class and learning about all the different fossils of all the seperate species found in Africa. There is no "missing link" it makes perfect scientifical sense, evolution explains better than anything how we got here.[/quote']

 

 

there is no fossil example that supports evolution.

Thats ludicrous.

This in response to Nevermore's question "Wasn't there a study that showed that all modern fauna is descended from the sea sponge?"

 

Hellbender, what is ludicrous about it? I take fauna to refer in this context to vertebrates. What do you think our phyla descended from then?

 

Edit: I just read Nevermore's later link. We don't need to restrict it to vertebrates.. Interesting.

Zahizahi, have you read your own link?

 

It bases its critic of Darwinism on 3 main points.

 

1) Darwinism is dependent on the theory of 'spontanteous origin of life'

2) Darwinism is dependent on Lamarkism and Mendelian genetics refutes it.

3) All mutations are negative.

 

1) This is simply incorrect. Darwin did not know how life first formed and his theory was not concerned with how life originated, only with how it developed.

 

2) This is simply incorrect. Darwin did not know how herditary traits were passed down through the generations but he knew that they did. Mendelian genetics explains how, thereby supporting his theory.

 

3) This is simply incorrect, it is repeated several times that no positive mutation has ever been observed. A 30 second check on Google proves that wrong.

It is clear that your link is not only factually inaccurate, but wilfully so. It is dishonest and wrong.

 

Perhaps you'd like to present some real evidence against evolution?

sorry, that was a knee-jerk post, and I apologize, I didn't understand the question, or topic. I kinda thought he was joking. I don't think its ludicrous.

well the ball's in your court, why don't you present fossil examples that only and indistuputably support biblical creation?

 

PS are the names Ambulocetus natans, Archaeopteryx, Australopithecus and Ichthyostega familiar to you?

I actually found that link posted by zahizahi to be one of the funnier reads I have had in a long time. It very directly stated that ALL evidence presented by Darwinists is "imaginary" and simply propoganda designed to foster a materialistic world in which selfishness and evil rule supreme. It actually made out evolutionary biologists, zoologists, botanists, etc. to be evil masterminds in some kind of huge world domination conspiracy that has lasted 200 years. I laughed so hard. Of course after stating these things, they said that it PROVED that God had created all species.

its quite funny. This is the most extreme form of ad hominem attack biblical creationists use. You gotta just learn to laugh it off.

Sounds like a great idea to me! I've always wanted to be part of a vast secret society with goals of global domination!

 

C'mon, it'd be fun!

I'm already part of one. Apparently there are a bunch of people who think that a rogue planet exists and is slowing the earth's rotation by a macroscopic amount, but the timekeepers of the world are adjusting all the official clocks to compensate and make the day "seem" like it's 24 hours long.

 

Of course, I categorically deny that his is happening, but then, what would you expect me to do? :D
