No way!
And yet you believe that Noah crammed 100 million species on a boat, and that the first man was created from a pile of dirt, and the first woman from the man's rib. 🙄

Make sense to me because God had something to do with it. Fish were designed
by God to swim and live in water, so it is not God's will for fish to walk and live
on dry land.

There are a number of species of fish that can walk on land. I have seen some myself.

P.S. Do you have verifiable evidence that an ape was in your ancestry?

Yes, my mother and my father.

Do they both agree that they are apes?

Do you think they are evolving into something else besides a fish?

Well my mother does and my father certainly would if he were still alive.

They might be, it all depends on what the selection pressures are and whether walking on land remains beneficial to them. And if they survive the next 100k years or so of course.

I have not heard of any mechanism that would prevent the otherwise inevitable 'macro' result of continual 'micro' evolution, to use two terms that creationists love to throw about.

I have no idea what they are evolving into. I cannot predict the future. Nevertheless they are fish and they can walk on land - something you expressed disbelief in.

Do you think that has anything to do with your intelligence?

Just to add to this, here are some videos of these fish:



and a report from Fox News of all places about the evolution of walking:

To me there is only one type of evolution and it does not work. However, you
seem to think there is an exception in your case with two ape parents. Have
you considered making yourself available of scientific study?

Even I can be wrong, but not the Holy Bible.

You are wrong more often than not. You are even wrong about the Holy Bible, though it is hardly relevant here as it has nothing to say on the subject.

Not really, since I am also an ape.

And a simian. And a primate. And a mammal. And a vertebrate. And a chordate. And an animal.

As are you and every other human on the planet.
