In Asia, Africa and Australia lives a remarkable creature the archerfish that shoots down its prey from the air above it with a burst of water. It uses its tongue and the top of its mouth to form a groove simiilar to a gun barrel. Then by compressing its gills it squirts water up to six feet with deadly accuracy -- in spite of the distortion caused by seeing the target from below the surface of water.
Evolutionists still don't know how the archerfish got its amazing abilities.They can only wonder. Viewid through the distortion of evolution they cannot explain how the archerfish gradually learned to not aim where its eyes see but to aim instead at a different spot where the target actually is.
Without its binocular vision it couldnot see the object with such precision and without the special shape of the upper mouth and a specialized tongue it could not make the groove it needs to shoot lthe concentrated jet of water. Many factors have to appear together and be perfectly formed for this shooting mechanism to work. This of course goes totally against Charles Darwin's evolutionary theory which is based on a gradual step by step process.
Darwin wrote in (The Origin of Species)-- "If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed which could not possibly have been formed by numerous successive slight modifications my theory would absolutely break down"(1859, p. 171).
The archerfish offers precisely such an example since several complex systems must all appear at the same time perfectly and not gradually formed--binocular vision,a specialized mouth and tongue, specialized gills to compress and expel water and an aiming system based in the brain and not in the eyes. If any of these parts is missing the mechanism will not hit the target and no survival advantage is created.
When you get down to the facts the archerfish with one squirt of its gills shoots down Charles Darwin's entire theory of evolution and that by Darwin's own admission!!!
So evolution doesn't have the answer to this mystery. But the Bible does. Genesis 1:20-21 says that God created all the creatures that live in the water. He created a great variety of perfectly formed fish including the archerfish with all its special features such as binocular vision other specialized organs and a built in ability to compenste for the distortion of the water.

Humans did not evolve from apes. Humans are more closely related to modern apes , but we didn't evolve from apes. Humans share a common ancestor with modern African apes, like gorillas and chimpanzees. Scientists believe this common ancestor existed
5 to 8 million years ago.
Many of these hominid species are close relatives, but not human ancestors. Most went extinct without giving rise to other species. Some of the extinct hominids known today, however, are almost certainly direct ancestors of Homo sapiens.

Both evolved from a common ancestor. Humans did not evolve from Apes. Apes are an offshoot of humanity. Read Darwins Origin of the Species. That might help you understand what you are asking about. (no that wasn't snide, I implore you to learn about what you are attacking.)

This is a common mistake about evolution. Before making a post like this, you really need to read up on evolution. We did not evolve from apes, we have many characteristics common with apes. However, we didnt evolve from apes.

Humans and modern apes share a primitive ancestor. Before that they would have shared the same evolutionary branch. Take a biology class if you are sincere in wanting to learn more. If not, just keep reading Christian propaganda on drdino.com

Humans evolved from dust
Genesis 2:7
7And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

We didn't. Each species was created; not evolved. The Bible says each creature was created after its own kind. This is why house cats did not come from the large wild cats even though they have similar personalities and mannerisms; etc.
Happy Sabbath.

HUMANS didn't evolve from apes they " EVOLVED" from charles darwins behind helped by the public eduction system of the U.S.A. and scientists who discoved the black hole is really located between their thighs deep inside their buttocks.

A spiecies evolves within itself or it becomes extinct. It does not evolve into something else. Another word for evolve is adapt. Things adapt to their surrounding or they die.
