On chins
None of the earlier species had a chin.

Re: Fish Identification
The teeth are wrong. If you reduce the size of the upper canines you have what appears to be a bear or some such. The rear teeth look like what are called carnasial teeth. These are not found in fish.

These are not found in fish. It was the teeth that aroused my suspicion, but then I don't know very much about fish dentition. But they look too mammalian to me. There are more pictures of it here about 1/3 the way down.
In those views the rear teeth look a lot more like primate teeth, and not at all like carnasials (such as are found in dogs, for example). Still not something you would find in a fish.
Religious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge.

Re: Penguins anti-life?
Taz writes: I watched march of the penguins. Remember the part where they try to transfer the egg and fail? The egg freezes and remains there for all of eternity. There's a limited number of organic molecules on Earth. Almost everything gets recycled. But no, the penguins have to spend energy to produce the eggs and then dump them where it's always cold all the time so that the material is never recycled. (1) How long will it take for the penguins to take out enough organic material from the echosphere to start impacting the rest of us? (2) Are they anti-life? (3) Should we exterminate them to prevent a future disaster?
They're just sequestering carbon. That's the latest fad. Give them a break.

Re: the flood
There is no archaeological evidence of a global flood ca. 4-5,000 years ago. We do, however, have clear evidence of post-glacial floods about three times as old and much smaller than the purported global flood.

Re: Gasoline prices
And if you look at the tax statement on the pump, many times that figure goes to the various governments.

Re: Usage of affect vs. effect
Easy way to remember: You affect an effect.
