In evolution, why are we not seeing sea creatures crawling onto the shores today?
Because evolution is a fraud
because evolution is just a theory (a guess)
>>9106792
why would they crawl onto shore in the first place anyway?......
>>9106792
because you don't follow science news

I can tell you don't spend too much time in the intertidal zone.
Also evolution is stunted with biodiversity loss and shifting baselines.
>>9106799
Evolution is actually getting to be total lulz at this point.

Because it only happened once and the proto amphibians are long gone.

>what are amphibians?
>>9106792
Most niches are already utilized and optimized by the organisms that already exist.
If an organism started to transition to a new niche, it would probably be sub-optimal compared to the organisms already inhabiting that niche.
It would probably lose at competing in that new niche if the niche is already saturated.
Long story short, the ones that crawled out first had it easy and are making it hard for all of the others trying to crawl out.

This is far from true. Over the past 10,000 years specialists have disappeared in favor of generalists and niche complexity has plummeted, both marine and terrestrial biodiversity are at an extreme low point in evolutionary history.

Also organisms that occupy a niche create more niches for other organisms to fill.
Also see niche construction theory.
It's not that there is no room, there is plenty of room. It's that there is not enough synergy to maintain niches, and the boundaries for the evolution of new niches are not even close to stable.

We do. They're called Amphibians.

Wew lad.
You have many different arthropods, arachnids, decapod, and isopod crustaceans, as well as many ray finned fish have crawled out of the sea to some extent.
Amphibains evolved in freshwater ecosystems, and hexapods probably mostly come from fairy shrimps in vernal pools.
