Is it possible for mermaids to exist?

FYI: the 'animal documentary' is a work of fiction.

Possible? Well anything is possible. Likely? Since there is no evidence of mermaids, I would say no.Edited by Panda, : No reason given.

You are confusing "absence of evidence" with "evidence of absence".We have an absence of evidence of life on 99.999% of other planets because we haven't been able to look.
We have evidence of absence of life on Mars because we have looked and found none.We have evidence of absence of mermaids on Earth because we have looked and found none. Because there is no evidence. But, alas, you have reverted back to your original pattern.Edited by Panda, : No reason given.Edited by Panda, : No reason given.Edited by Panda, : No reason given.

We know about those mutations though, don't we.
The very fact you can provide these things as evidence shows that they exist and we know about them.But we are not able to provide any evidence of mermaids.
We have no fossils. We have no transitional fossils. We have no corpses. We have no physical evidence at all.Perhaps there is a biologist here who could answer if it is even possible for anything remotely ape-like becoming fully aquatic?p.s.
I find it very telling that people rarely talk about mermen.
And any whimsical fantasies about mermaids are tarnished by the fact they would have to be covered in blubber to prevent hypothermia. Edited by Panda, : No reason given.

There's an old thread about that: Aquatic Ape theory?

"No evidence of mermaids, says US government"http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-18692830"The National Ocean Service made the unusual declaration in response to public inquiries following a TV show on the mythical creatures.
It is thought some viewers may have mistaken the programme for a documentary."Edited by Panda, : No reason given.
