I now support the theory of evolution

Thanks to this recent article published in Science, I am considering becoming a supporter of the theory of evolution.

"Ancient Fish Heads for Land"

Throughout my career as a biology major at Davidson, I found that the evidence supporting the theory of evolution seemed misinterpreted and didn't quite hold water. I was always skeptical of new presentations of such evidence. However, this recent article finally put all the pieces together for me. I think evolution might actually be real.

Thanks Tiktaalik roseae. You finally made some sense out of this theory.

So on what day of the 7 in genesis did this fish change?

I wish I could devolve and develop gills, a la Kevin Costner in the blockbuster smash Waterworld.

I don't care what people say, I freaking love Waterworld. I think it was a great film. Also, Sir Xtreme, it was the 5th day in which this fish stood its ass up and walked.

Also, Tacitus, I believe there is no such thing as 'de-evolution'. I think that all evolution moves forward. Hence, the evolution of gills in humans would only happen if it were beneficial, a la when the earth is covered in water. Therefore, the evolution would be in a progressive direction, as opposed to a 'de-' direction.

Booyah. Balls in ya butt.
