Fish Birth Amazes Evolutionists
Job 12:8: "Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee: and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee."
It was a nice day on a tropical reef in what is now Western Australia when an armored fish began to give birth. Before she could finish, the violence of the Great Flood encased her in mud.
Of course, that's not how evolutionists interpret the evidence. Our mom-to-be is a member of a newly discovered species of placoderm, a family of now-extinct armored fish. Not only were these fish armored, their jaws could apparently crush bones. Evolutionists say that these fish lived between 417 and 354 inflated evolutionary years ago. This discovery pushes back the first known example of a fish giving live birth 200 million of those evolutionary years.
After the discovery, scientists went back and studied the fossils of another placoderm and discovered that it, too, had a uterus with three apparent unborn pups in it. Scientists say that the partially born youngster was already a quarter of its mother's ten-inch length. This helped its survival in a fish-eat-fish world. Scientists admit that the fish had an unexpectedly sophisticated reproductive system. Such reproductive systems, they say, are found only in supposedly much more evolved fish.
Of course, like all other living things, the placoderm did not evolve but were created. Their so-called advanced reproductive system not only shows no evidence of evolutionary progression, it does show evidence of a caring Creator.
Prayer: Lord, the entire creation declares the excellence of Your handiwork. Help me to do so, too. Amen.
