Bizarre Walking Fish Aren’t Transitional Forms – They Remind Us of the Diversity in Created Kinds

Evolutionists would propose that once upon a time fish left their watery home and walked on dry land.

There is no fossil or other evidence for this. We know, however, that some fish walk on the seafloor – not with legs, as they haven’t got them – but with their fins.

This does not make them into transitional forms.

Recently, Australian divers found a new population of red handfish (Thymichthys politus) off the coast of Tasmania.

Scientists have known of these rare bizarre fish since the 19th century. Red handfish sport finger-like fins with which they move about on the seabed.

They are testimony of the diversity seen in created kinds.

When a fish walks…

If this tiny fish had become extinct and Darwinists found its fossil, they might shout for joy.

However, this fish still lives at the bottom of the ocean and it is not a transitional form but a true handfish.

Creation magazine has published at least two articles on this Australian fish that belongs to the family Brachionichthyidae. Earlier this year, National Geographic also published a few photos of this intriguing marine creature that has not yet decided to walk ashore
