Japanese Dolphin “With Legs” Is a Setback for Evolution Supporters
Hi all,
Here is an interesting new ariticle I saw on the internet where an AP news release where the headline reads, Japanese Researchers Find Dolphin With ‘Remains of Legs.’
The story itself declares that, “Japanese researchers said Sunday that a bottlenose dolphin captured last month has an extra set of fins that could be the remains of back legs, a discovery that may provide further evidence that ocean-dwelling mammals once lived on land.”
A paragraph later we read, “Fossil remains show dolphins and whales were four-footed land animals about 50 million years ago and share the same common ancestor as hippos and deer. Scientists believe they later transitioned to an aquatic lifestyle and their hind limbs disappeared.”
Obviously, the conclusions one wants to make from this dolphin are more or less predetermined by what one believed before the dolphin was found.

So, what do you make of this story? What is your thoughts on Evolution vs. Intelligent Design?

Hi Maegan,
Thank you for your post. Yes, I like what you have to say because the dolphins with legs would be much nicer than alligators .
As you know, God created all animals to be unique in their own special ways. It is amazing to see how different they all are. Even the dolphins, they each have their own personalities.
Hopefully you will try one of our dolphin swim programs one day.
