The Lively Fossil Fish

Enter the coelacanth stage right! For a fish known to be dead for 70,000,000 years by evolutionists--in fact, they used its fossils to index strata--the pictures of the fish caught in the Indian Ocean tell a different story. The first one was caught in 1938 and hundreds have been caught since. In 1987 a German team photographed six of the fish hundreds of feet down below sea level. Instead of being the missing link about to grow legs from its four bottom fins, the fish is just what the Lord made it to be a very few thousand years ago. If it had existed millions of years ago, it still wouldn't have been the ancestor for amphibians, reptiles, dinosaurs, birds and mammals the evolutionists purported it to be when they thought it was just a long dead fossil. To date, there are no discovered "missing links" or transitional forms. Even billions of years won't make them materialize. Surprise! God has a way of catching scientists in nets of their own making. These coelacanth didn't crawl around in shallow water so they could take leisurely strolls on the beach to scratch their fins just itching to turn into legs. Fish they were and fish they are and fish they will ever be. As Ken Ham of AIG (Answers in Genesis) says, "It was created to do what it does do and what it does do it does do very well, thank you."

The coelacanth is just one of the many "index fossils" evolutionists use to date the strata. The fossil dates the rock layer and the rock layer dates the index fossil. That seems to make sense when we glibly say it, even seems logical. The problem is, this is circular reasoning. It's like saying something is what it is. That's not too brilliant--especially when it turns out to be it isn't what it isn't--but it is passed off as good science.

Obviously this particular living fish could have been found fossilized at any place in the "geological column." How many school children, however, have been deluded into thinking the strata can be dated by index fossils? Worse still, how many more children will be "schooled" and tested in the same old lies? It looks like congress and our school boards here in Ohio and Pennsylvania care more about what "floats" than about truth. If education does anything, shouldn't it promote the truth?

Anyone who has a reasonable argument against what is written here . . . take it up with the coelacanth. If it could talk, it would say something like Mark Twain did in one of his humorous responses: "The news of my death has been greatly exaggerated." I reckon! Well, 70,000,000 years is only a minor inaccuracy for most evolutionists.

Humor aside, please leave a comment on this blog if you want to give evidence to refute anything here. Bashing us naive religious nuts can be great catharsis and real sport. Do that if you care to. But if you want to discuss the pros and cons of special creation vs evolution through examining the evidence, then I relish our interaction.
