> dhw: I consider it far more likely that fins became legs as a result of fish venturing onto dry land. I consider it far less likely that they already had legs before they stepped onto dry land or - another possibility that occurs to me - that they stepped onto dry land and God immediately provided them with fully formed legs. I have given you my opinion. I would love to know yours, and wonder why you are so reticent to give it.-My firm view is that form appears before function. Look at today's comments about infant brain development and its relation to the evolutionary process. Development from attempted function, your view, implies tiny experimental changes, not the gaps in phenotype which is the only evidence we have to consider.
