The chicken came first because God created the chicken. None of that nonsense about we evolved from fish. If so answer me this, why did some become living beings and some remain fish?

Did I miss something in biology classes or do fish not actually fulfil all the criteria for being living beings?
If not then I've got one hell of a creepy dead thing swimming around my aquarium at home.
"The chicken came first because God created the chicken."
The egg came first you dolt. God had nothing to do with it, unless you want to claim nature as "god" which I personally have nothing against. At least you can show evidence that nature is real.
"None of that nonsense about we evolved from fish."
Fish? I thought we evolved from apes? Why is the world so confusing ... *sniffle*
Look moron, read a biology book. At least check out a non-creationist website.
"If so answer me this, why did some become living beings and some remain fish?"
I see, this is one of those creationist brain benders, right? You want to know how a creature can have all the qualities of life and still not be "living" don't ya? Or something...
I hate to be the one to break the news to you but fish are just as alive as you are, despite your obvious lack of mental faculties.

This could explain a lot about the whole God/Col.Sanders conspiracy theory I've been banging on about. The resemblance is too close to be coincidence.
That loaves and fishes David Blaine bit in the bible could have been Colonel God/Sanders handing out KFC Family Buckets to hook the credulous kids. Although the lack of supporting documentation for an obesity epidemic in and around the Eastern Mediterranean at this time would suggest that the kids had more taste than to get addicted to greasy, tasteless, battery-farmed shite.
PS Apologies for going off-topic.
If horses and zebras are distinct members of the same "kind", why are horses and zebras existent at the same time?
See? It doesn't make sense, does it?
@ Toffee
It's no coincidence that KFC and Long John Silver's are owned by the same parent company, and are sometimes found as joint restaurants in the same building. Maybe The Colonel and his pirate friend were both passing out food, eh? After all, the Bible says fish, but the bread could very well have been KFC's yummy rolls.
Aside from the "Fish ARE alive, dumbfuck" remark, Fish still fulfill a niche, and as such, still are needed in the ecosystem.
animals, including fish, evolved to fill ecological niches. i.e. where there was food a species evolved to eat it. There are still fish today because there is still that ecological niche to be filled. (That's also why ("if we evolved from monkeys why do we still have monkeys") there are still monkeys)
"If so answer me this, why did some become living beings and some remain fish?"
Some did neither, as your zombie-intelligence comment demonstrates.
1) Fish are living things too.
2) We didn't evolve from modern fish. Modern fish and modern humans share a common ancestor way back in the past.
3) When speciation events occur, it is usually because two populations are separated. One population went on to become the ancestors of humans (among many other things) and one population went on to become the ancestors of modern fish (among many other things as well).
Why do I even bother?
i think i can actually answer this question
most Americans descended from Europeans, but there are still Europeans
If so answer me this, why did some become living beings and some remain fish?
Diffusive evolutionary pressure. If life starts out in the oceans (where you'd expect the simplest life forms to turn up, in a convenient liquid suspension) and there's plenty of unused resources and living space on land, the evolutionary tendency is for development to push in that direction. In order for all of that life to end up on land, leaving the seas void, it would have to work against the same evolutionary pressure acting in the opposite direction, so that couldn't spontaneously happen.
Which came first, the fundie or the dimwit?
No, wait, I'm serious. Is it that only dimwits can evolve into fundies, or is it that fundies become dimwits because of their fundiness? Does believing in the KJV bible suck all the intelligence out of ones head? Or does one have to be seriously unintelligent in the first place to believe in it all?
Incidentally, supermarket chickens taste of fish because the factory owners feed them fishmeal for protein to make them grow faster. It's not really a stage in evolution.

Does Yahoo not believe in any for of quality control?
We really should encorage sansan to type very long answers, as I'm sure they can't type *and* breathe at the same time. Sadly I doubt brain death caused by lack of oxygen would make much diiference to their IQ...
My ancestors came from Scotland. If some of my Scottish relatives became Americans, why did some of them remain Scottish?
Same exact thing. There’s an isolation of two gene pools, mutations accumulated in one can’t spread through the other. or, citizenship changed in one group and their descendants doesn’t affect the other group.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
