>>11379871If you were to trace your ancestral lineage directly back then eventually one of your direct ancestors would be a fish-like creature swimming around in an ancient sea. Living very much like a fish lives today.
No, not an offshoot of your family, not like a distant cousin. No. Not a common ancestor. Your direct ancestor. Yup. Straight through your male line if you prefer, or through the female line, doesn't really matter. It was this fish-like ancestor who was directly responsible for creating the descendants who eventually became you and your immediate family.
But dont stop there. Go further back and your direct ancestors before the fishy thing were some sort of single celled amoeba-like creature. A single squishy cell. Then before that it gets fuzzy. Some fucking lipids and other organic molecules floating haphazardly around in some primeval ocean.
But dont stop there. Prior to that the components of these organic molecules were atoms being blasted across space as part of an expanding wave front from an exploding star. The atoms that would eventually form part of the early solar system. These atoms would eventually end up on Earth and after a huge amount of time eventually form the molecules that became the components of your direct ancestral lipids an other gunky bits.
But dont stop there. Long before that these atoms were a form of pure energy created by the Big Bang. Just fucking around in a space which had no matter, just energy. Well, at least as far as science can figure out to date. Who knows, perhaps 100 years from now there will be some ground breaking new evidence and a new theory that throws all our ideas about the Universe on its head and we end up with a completely different picture of how it all started or where it came from. That's pretty much up in the air. But the rest, yeah, very much for certain your direct ancestors were fucking fish.
Also: Creationist and the retarded deniers can go get fucked with a pole axe.
