The evolutionist have told me that through a process of mutations the gills in a fish were replaced with lungs.
My question,
How many mutations did it take?
Gills to Lungs???

Easy. Between 1 mutation and an infinite number of them.My question,
How many mutations did it take?
My question, Why does it matter?

Your point? Evolution has plenty of time in which to produce such a change.The evolutionist have told me that through a process of mutations the gills in a fish were replaced with lungs.

No, most certainly before that time it ceases to be a river and could more appropriately be termed a creek or a stream.LillSnopp wrote:An amount that equates to the volume of the river. (past sense)Exactly how many milliliters of water must one take out of a river before it ceases to be a river?
A dry river bed with a drop of water added does not a river make.

Some fish have both gills and lungs. Some fish have swim bladders instead of lungs, and in the place that lungs appear in lungfish. It is likely that lungs (which were fairly common in ancient fish) evolved into swim bladders.
Sharks have neither lungs nor swim bladders. That is one reason they must always keep swimming. Without an internal air sac of some kind, they have no other means to regulate their position in the water column.
Embryonic pharyngeal pouches appear in both fish embryos and mammalian embryos (in fact, in all chordate embryos). These structures develop into gills in fish, and into parts of the throat, jaw and inner ear in mammals.
