Do you believe it is appropriate to say that the Lumpsucker's pelvic fins ... "have evolved into adhesive discs" as opposed to that they were created with adhesive discs? I don't believe in evolution. Lizzy 03:28, 12 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Nearly the entire life sciences section of WP is based on the assumption that evolution is factual; why not get an agreement to change all of that first, and then we can get back to this article. Stan 04:49, 12 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Okay. Should I delete these talk entries or just leave them? Lizzy 11:21, 12 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Leave them please. It's very confusing to have a talk page exist but be empty! :-) Stan 15:04, 12 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Reference to the Lumpsucker's pelvic fins; 

"have evolved into adhesive discs"...why not "adapted" to adhesive discs? The ventral fins unite and form a ventral sucker for adhesion to stones and seaweeds. Evolution is a strong word without backing and 100% proof but a theroy. Sean Armstrong (P.G.Z.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.139.24.2 (talk) 15:06, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
