Just curious, KBC, but doesn't the coelacanth actually support the concept of fish and land animals being related?

I have not yet had one walk up to me and provide any evidence yet nor, is there any evidence that doesn't require imagination from the fossil record. However, coelacanth is purported to back the evolutionists hypothesis that molecules to man is a reality even though the greater part of the hypothesis is entirely within the minds of those seeking to make it reality.

OK. Then answer this: Does the coelecanth appear to be a legitimate transition between fish and land creatures?
The only way that this example helps support human evolution is by extension. By having examples like this, we can create evolutionary chains of species. When you have numerous chains that are supported by the fossil record and genetics, that helps solidify the Theory. Human evolution is one such chain that has been constructed. So, basically, the coelecanth example does not directly support human evolution, but it certainly supports evolution as a whole.

If you hold an a priori belief that such a change can occur to begin with... but of course then nothing is beyond evolutionary power to form if you believe it hard enough.

It helps to extend the initial imaginary possibility.

By believing that such and example is realistic then it supports other imaginary chains. My kids imagine that they can fly to the moon in a cardboard box... maybe if we can get enough kids together who believe it as well then we can make it a real science just like evolution.
