Sheepdog's Facts That Defy The Theory Of Evolution

Most of us were taught in school that the coelacanth was our very earliest ancestor.

Coelacanth

In 1938 a coelacanth Latimeria chalumnae was caught at the mouth of the Chalumna River on the east coast of South Africa, which put evolutionary believers’ brains into a tailspin. No such fish was supposed to exist except in fossil form, and yet one was caught, photographed and examined. Since this find, more Coelacanths have been caught. The second was caught in 1952 off Anjouan Island in the Comores Islands, northwest of Madagascar.

Evolutionists thought these fish were our ancestors. (and so did our school teachers!) They were previously only known from the fossil record, going as far back as 400 million years. Before 1938 they were believed to have become extinct, being last seen in the fossil record about 80 million years ago. We’ve been told that because they had “footy protuberances” that millennia ago they “crawled” out of the ocean and then over more millennia “evolved” into land mammals, which includes us humans (your ancestor is a coelacanth!).

     In 1987 a German naturalist named Hans Fricke observed coelacanths in their habitat off Grand Comoro Island. He photographed the fish as they swam, but they did not crawl, walk, or otherwise move on the ocean’s bottom by using their lobed fins. They swam like fish, which they weren’t supposed to be able to do. Therefore the coelacanth didn’t move up from sea to land, filling the evolutionary gap, as hypothesized.
     Such fish are called “living fossils”, a term actually coined by Charles Darwin to categorize anomalies that don’t “fit” into the evolutionary time chart. To date, other living fossils, such as the redwood tree Metosequoia, have been found other than the coelacanth. Living fossils are evidence that go against the theory of evolution.
