That Fish Won’t Swim … Walk Neither

By now I’m sure you’ve all heard the hoopla about the “missing link” recently discovered in Canada.

Even though this find does not challenge intelligent design, there may be good reasons to be skeptical about it.

Really? Read on …

These fish are not necessarily intermediates, explain Discovery Institute scientists I queried about the find. Tiktaalik roseae is one of a set of lobe-finned fishes that include very curious mosaics–these fishes have advanced fully formed characteristics of several different groups. They are not intermediates in the sense that have half-fish/half-tetrapod characteristics. Rather, they have a combination of tetrapod-like features and fish-like features. Paleontologists refer to such organisms as mosaics rather than intermediates.
