reptile candidate getting prepared to pass from sea to land", was in reality a fish that lived in the
depths of the oceans and always stayed more than 180 metres below the surface. 30

The reason why evolutionists imagine the coelacanth and
similar fish to be "ancestors of land animals" is that these fish
have bony fins. They suppose that these bones turned into
legs over time. However, there is a basic difference between
the bones of these fish and the legs of land-dwelling Bones are unattached to the

The bones of fish are not attached to the spinal
column of the animal, as we see in the picture above.
In land-dwelling animals, however, bones are directly
