[QUOTE="infinity, post: 10557, member: 201"] I agree David... but then there's the non-scientific debate about religion- I have a Jehovah's witness friend who believes there's no such thing as evolution and that every species ever greated (even though absolutely miniscule in differences) were each out there by God as an individual and any similarity is a coincidence... I personally disagree as I myself have created genetically different bacteria etc just by transforming them with plasmid DNA - thus greating in effect a new species- so where does God fit in there... (strange thing is that he's taking the same subject and holds to his faith...) Anyway, of the religeous debate... It's quite possible that homonids reverted back to the sea- but then the development of a lung took millennia to achieve, why revert back? - even those species like the whale mentioned, haven't. I'd say it's fair to assume we were once sea dwelling as in the womb, we have webbed toes and at some stage, a rudimentary ability to *breathe* using the amniotic fluid. But then again, we all know that life had to have originally started in the sea (as it was the only medium with which to accumulate biomass in during the time the earth was forming) Again, I could go on forever about this but there are things i know exist that are amazing, things I don't know exist but do that I would find amazing and things that I would like to exist... c'est la vie What would your strict definition of cryptozoology be anyway?
