I said I might do this. The "Church in Modern World" thread has gotten too long & fragmented. I include religion because many specific arguments against evolution have religious claims at their base.

I request that people keep to the topic here and refrain from insults & personality clashes. I will request editing if it gets out of hand.
(it may be appropriate to C&P posts from the other thread(s) to avoid typing the same things again)

Let me begin with an article I happened across this morning.

walking-fish-evolution

several excerpts for those who want the main points: ", life as we know it began in Earth's oceans. At some point, those fish developed the ability to walk on land, using their fins as simple walking appendages..."

" researchers from the University of Ottawa and McGill University took modern fish known for walking on land, and raised them there for two years."

" "After two years, what they observed was essentially evolution at work. The 'terrestrialized' fish walked much more capably than their aquatic brethren, holding their fins closer to their bodies and their heads more upright. Their skeletons even adapted, developing stronger pectoral attachments and reducing connections with the head, allowing for longer strides and improved head mobility."

Pete has often said that 'we can't see any evolution'... but this seems to be a good example of how it might appear.
