"Bite by bite: How jaws drove fish evolution (Univ of Michigan, 2 Sept 2025). Morgan Sherburn, the listed contact at UMich, is implicated in this doozy of Darwinian nonsense that he apparently let through: “If you’re reading this sentence, you might have a fish to thank.”
Don’t thank God for your ability to enjoy food and speak coherently. Thank your inner fish.
This proves that Darwinians have their deities, too, even when they fall over, like Dagon the Philistine fish god, under the power of superior rationality.
Cue Jaws theme for this next gem:
"Fish were the first animals to evolve jaws. They use their jaws primarily to eat, but also for defense, as tools—such as to burrow or to crack open hard food—and even as a form of parental care: some fish carry eggs or their young in their mouths. Jaws are a trait that scientists think fueled evolution among vertebrates, including us."
Oh my, where do we start.

Q: Does anything drive evolution?
Q: Does anything fuel evolution?
Not according to Darwin; stuff just happens. Notice the philosophy of progress implied in the quote: some mystical force that cannot be measured with a scientific instrument “drives” and “fuels” evolution in its inexorable quest for human brains. That’s not logic; that’s jawboning like a comedian."
