Coelacanth
On December 23rd,
1938, a strange fish was caught in East London, South Africa.
On January 4th, 1939 it was verified as a
Coelacanth. Because the innards had been destroyed in the
process of mounting the fish, the scientists had to wait 14
years for another Coelacanth to be caught.
On December
21, 1952 another Coelacanth was caught on the Comorian Island
of Anjouan. This fish was preserved intact. Many have been
caught since in recent years.
The Coelacanth
was called "The
most important zoological find of the century." "A
living dinosaur would be no more amazing than this incredible
discovery."
The importance
of the Coelacanth is that it was last found in the fossil
record 70 million (?) years ago. If evolution is true, how did
this fish survive for 70 million years without changing. It
was subjected to the same Environmental pressures as other
creatures.

Could
the Coelacanth be a not-so-missing-link
that shows the world is not millions of years old
and God really did create everything? |
