   Hard to actually believe…but if science can prove so (that they are our actual ancestors), then yea i quite believe it.
   TY for the article anyway!

   I chuckle how some people are really persnickity about calling jellyfish “jellies” now. I was at an aquarium a couple years ago and I think one of the docents must have spent her entire day self-righteously correcting kids pointing to “jellyfish” and “starfish” telling them they are “jellies” and “sea stars”. Yeah, everyone knows they aren’t really fish — I don’t think people were ever too confused. Well guess what? They aren’t made of freaking jelly or stars either!

   What a joke. Anyone who believes this I feel bad. One day we are going to have to answer to our Creator

    Did it ever occur to you jeremy that evolution is the answer to how god created us?

    This is good news for textbook publishers… I never bought the sponge theory. I like this one better. Then again, it’ll probably change in another ten years anyway. That’s why I love the word theory - we guarantee nothing in biology and the general public is still willing to accept it.

    what about the theory of evolution? that’s pretty much been proven.

    If evolution had been “proven”, it wouldn’t be called a theory anymore. The reason evolution is so widely accepted is that it makes sense and, to be completely honest, it’s the best we’ve come up with. Biology isn’t concrete, it’s ‘we think this happens because we’ve observed that’. We discover new things about the world around and inside of us every day, and biology has to be able to adapt to these changes or risk being pushed into the soft science category. I teach a class on biological ethics and integrity for college students pursuing research and the first thing I tell them is that if they’re going to tell the general public that something is a fact, they had better be able to prove it beyond a shadow of a doubt over every single trial.
