Markers of the wrists and digits in the limb of a mouse (left) are present in fish and demarcate the fin rays (right). The wrist and digits of tetrapods are the cellular and genetic equivalents of the fin rays of fish.

As I recall, there was a massive controversy after the discover of the "Tiktaalik" fossil and similar fossils. This study goes into the genetics of the fin adaptations leading to feet that the morphology of Tiktaalik shows.

Long John Silver’s could probably offer some insight on the issue. I remember they used to sell Fish Fingers.

"Shubin is an authority on the transition from fins to limbs."

Sooo, he's seen the transitional fossils? I mean, this is science, and not hokum like that wild Bible story....

With this new revelation where is all the fish that should have fingers by now. Haven’t seen any or have I read about anyone catching any fish with hands and feet. Darwinism is what it is, a junk science and has a cult following of the left anti Religion crowd. Also I could make an image on a computer and morph it into anything I want!

Genetically impossible, but we’re supposed to be tolerant these days, so,....have fun with that.

That is NOTHING!

I know how to turn Fish Fins and Tails into Fish Chips!
(a little Chipolata or Sriracha dip and your tongue will wrestle you to plate after plate of delicious goodness!)

I think it’s as simple as any person who comes up with an idea then makes variations of that idea and then creates a whole bunch of variation possibilities of those initial variations. IE: all sorts of heads, necks, bodies, arms, legs, feet, colors even stripes and dots, skin types, fur types. God just had a blast using His imagination!

That’s all God did. Made animals, insects, creatures with all kinds of variations in one day. and that day He said it was good.

Then the next day took many of the best parts and included a part in His image and likeness and made humans. But again did not make all of us exactly the same. And that day He said it was VERY good.

I don’t see why science can’t see how simple that is.
