Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
The coelacanth, a prehistoric fish that was mistakenly thought to have gone extinct at the same time as the dinosaurs, has managed to stick around our seas for 360 million years. Erin Eastwood details the surprising back from the dead discovery of the coelacanth and explains how this fish's fins shed light on the evolutionary movement of vertebrates from water to land.

If coelacanth fossils from 300 million years ago look identical to the present-day living coelacanths, it proves the MYTH of evolution; they haven't evolved AT ALL in over 300 million years! Thus evolution is a lie. NatGeo says the same thing about sharks, alligators and a variety of other animals that look identical to the fossil remains of these animals from 100s of million of years ago. You can't have it both ways: either all things evolve or they all don't; we don't get to pick and choose nor tolerate scientific hypocrisy. The coelacanth NEVER EVOLVED! Our own evolution is a continuation of the same faulty Darwinian THEORY (not FACT. We should stop teaching evolution as a fact; it is not; just a convenient myth to placate those that simply refuse to believe in a personal Creator God who made things as they are and as we see them today, fixed in their forms, each after its own kind (Genesis 1: 12, 21, 24. Evolution is neither good science nor a consistent explanation for life. God exists, He made everything according to its own kind, and that is what we see today. .. we just have to deal with it! And BTW, He loves us!

If you still believe this fish lived 65 million years ago you have no ability to tell truth from lie. This fish never extinct and was never killed by the ice age. Evolution is a bald faced lie from Satan and these complicit pseudo scientists. They had to change their story when this fish was found alive. And found alive wirh zero evolved capabilities. It is exactly the same as the fossils that were dated millions of years ago so even if you run with their story you have a fish that has lived 300 million years ago and is still alive today and was not able to evolve at all in all that time. There's no better proof that evolution is a hoax. It's time you start using your own brain and running your own numbers or you will always stay lied to.

. while the rocks have continually yielded new and exciting and even bizarre forms of life. what they have never yielded is any of Darwin's myriads of transitional forms. Despite the tremendous increase in geological activity in every corner of the globe and despite the discovery of many strange and hitherto unknown forms, the infinitude of connecting links has still not been discovered and the fossil record is about as discontinuous as if was when Darwin was writing the Origin. The intermediates have remained as elusive as ever and their absence remains, a century later, one of the most striking characteristics of the fossil record. ---Michael Denton

A few years late here but, I thought the animation was horrible and turned this video away from being educational. It's like the artist didn't know exactly what to draw and/or didn't bother looking up ANY information about the fish or bone structure or anything. Watching this video felt like an expert was trying to tell me something while their child (the animation) was throwing a temper tantrum because no one was paying attention to it -- complete with sound effects.

We are not even authorized to consider the exceptional case of the archaeopteryx as a true link. By link, we mean a necessary stage of transition between classes such as reptiles and birds, or between smaller groups. An animal displaying characters belonging to two different groups cannot be treated as a true link as long as the intermediary stages have not been found, and as long as the mechanisms of transition remain unknown.

What does it mean when a species does not evolve much since the Bashkirian Age of the Carboniferous period? Is it because the species as it is in it's current state is very successful and resilient in a very large variety of environmental conditions or is it because it lived for hundreds of millions of years in a secluded environment that didn't change much or both?

Indonesia (equatorial south asia to be precise, inc. Malay, Borneo, Phil upto Papua NG) is always geographical and geologically fascinating, I'm sure it still hold much more secrets about the ancient world.

Just about the video, is very creative but a bit too creative (busy) that it is distracting. Sorry! It gave me a migraine I think and I dont suffer from them lol
reply

I don't want to make people mad at me but, apes and other species of it weren't our ancestor. Just say it if you want. We were never an ape.
reply

Does that mean in the future we'll see dinosaurs again? Because when ceolacanths evolve limbs that means theyll evolve to dinosaurs.
