Vertebrate lineage

Evolutionary biologists from Cornell University have apparently discovered that almost all vertabrates descended from a fish. In this article there are a lot of probably's and suppositions made by the evolutionary biologists at Cornell. The author, Mark Brown, is careful to write this article from a stand off point. The biologists also claim that electroreception abilities are found in some land vertabrates, but not reptiles, birds, and mammals. These electroreception abilities are apparently found in ancient sensory systems and have a common evolutionary heritage. This supposedly gives more evidence to an evolutionary link between all mammals and fishes. I think articles like these give little evidence to support either side of the creationism vs evolution debate, but it is good to find articles like this to cast out of consideration. I have read many articles like this that provide information that may link us to some different animal that “proves” we evolved through macro evolution. All of these articles fall short and have not earned my stamp of legitimacy. I would like to see what Christian researchers have to say about this data however.
