If evolution is false, how do you explain Blind Cave fish?

Question

They appear identical to normal fish, but are completely lacking in eyes.

However, recent studies have been conducted to see what would happen if lenses from sighted fish were transplanted to the Blind Cave fish. Amazingly, it began to develop eyes!!!

The ONLY plausible explanation is that the fish once had eyes, but in black caves eyes were useless liability, so nature selected the fish to EVOLVE blindness as a survival advantage. This is TEXTBOOK EVOLUTION at work. What possible reason would there be to create a blind fish with all the genetics for eyes, but not give it eyes?

It's evolution folks, plain and simple.

shaolt2002 - actually, it perfectly supports Darwin, and I've read three of his books. They are difficult reading because of the vernacular. As for species to species, what is a fox more like, a dog or a cat?

Intermediary species are all around us, as well as in the fossil record. Try visiting a few museums (and I don't mean the public displays... do some research in the archive rooms. Maybe you'll learn something.)

Answer 1

I believe God designed adaptation as a means to make his creation more perfect.

Speleology is my hobby, so I have spent much time considering your argument. In Hawaii the "happy face spider" has migrated into caves, as each island is older then the one to the south, a comparison can be made between the blind spiders with age. But all this only proves DE-EVOLUTION. The subjects loose a sensory function, rather then gain.

Development of eyes must be so early in the fossil record that there are no fossils of its evolution available, as most of the geology of this earth has recycled since then. So I looked at bats, (except for maybe dolfins), the ability of "echo location" is not shared by other animals, infact not all bats have it, thus according to the theory of evolution, this must be the most recent function, or organ, developed.

There are fossils of bats to be found. Unexpectedly, the oldest fossil, dating from the time of the dinasours, show the echo location capacity fully developed. Not what you would expect from evolution, as most mammals had not yet evolved. A study of the bats teath also show that the two type of bats are not related but evolved independently.

Answer 2

evolutionary naturalists and creationists both agree animals adapt... creationists say animals micro evolve. In this case the blueprints for the eyes were there and then lost because they were unecessary... this is actually a coman example creationists use to illustrate mutation through loss of genetic information

in every point mutation many claim information is actually lost and blind cave fish is a exhibit leaning in favor of the creationary view that information winds down not up

likewise when microbes become immune to antibiotics it can be because the antibiotic attacks an enzyme and the enzyme is missing in a mutated microbe... information was lost... not gained

see In The Beginning Was Information by Werner Gitt. Gitt and Spitner both have argued in recent years that random processes DO NOT give rise to information and cannot explain the complex information seen in biological systems, that would require a creator. Insead of increasing genetic information, mutations tend to wind it down and the question is where did the original information come from... GOD

Answer 3

If you put your arm in a sling for a couple of months & dont use it
you will find that it won't work either !! Nothing to do with " evolution " ....all about lost muscle tone in your shoulder.Which ever way you look at it , evolution doesn't stack up! How come so many animals are exactly the same as they always were eg Elephants ,Rhino , Crocodiles....all the same , nothing changed ! Why ? It's only a theory after all .

Answer 4

So it proves nothing.Perhaps it is a genetic defect.or a survival advantage, that man fooled with by transplanting eyes. Perhaps other senses were given to the fish, that now causes confusion to Blind cave fish. Man is always disturbing the natural order of nature.
People are born without sight, but still have eyes.Some having sight refuse to see The Light!

Answer 5

Hi !!!

My answer to all this nonsense for me is, that when a human being, creates a planet, with moon and everything and continues to create a whole new universe in which they can transport all of their "evolutionary friends" with them!!!

I will NOT even give that evolution theory a minute of my life!!!
I believe things or people can develop for better or for worse. But to come from monkeys???? Then again, where did the monkeys came from??? From A fish??? LOL!!!!

You can read all the books that everybody wants to write but, don't forget to read the only book you will ever need to read!!!

"THE BOOK OF LIFE!!! THE BIBLE.

GOD BLESS YOU, I believe next time probably you'll be a................
Oh well, I guess you will be able to choose what ever you want to be, right??? I don't think so!!! Sorry, I'm A BELIEVER OF GOD.

GOD BLESS YOU AND ENLIGHTEN YOU WITH HIS TRUTH

Answer 6

I explain them simply; they live down in the dark depths of the sea, or in caves, they have no need for eyes. If you lived on a desert island you would have no need for social skills, bring you into civilization, you learn them, you adapt. Your reasoning that they evolved blind as a survival advantage makes absolutely no sense. What is the advantage? You didn't even state an advantage.

By the way, where have you heard of these absurd, useless experiments?

Answer 7

Creationism has us inbreeding while evolution has us screwing monkeys. So I am not crazy about picking a theory here. I'm sorry, but aren't you saying the chicken came before the egg? These fish didn't 'evolve' more as the ones who were blind by random genetics survived to pass on their genes. Evolution is about survival and the %'s of genetic traits, its not a creation theory.

Answer 8

No one really questions a species ability to adapt to survive. But a fish does not give birth to a frog, a frog does not give birth to a lizard, a lizard does not give birth to a dinosaur. And whatever this Blind Cave fish thing is, it contradicts Darwin's theory. Darwin thought that all evolution should take a very long time, and should not happen abruptly. If you actually read his book, you would know that. So your little scenario does more against Darwinism than it does for it.

Plus you give credibility to stories like Noah's Ark. Instead of taking every single species of snakes on the Ark, he just needed to take one snake of each gender and they could reproduce all the types of snakes presently existing.

So thank you.

Answer 9

Adapting to environment is no proof of evolution, God made each creature to reproduce acording to its own kind, evolution is a false story!wether you like it or wether you don't just like a white person might go and live in Africa he will not become a black African will he? He may acquire a tan of sorts yes but he will never become a black person just like black African Americans don't become white by living in America, that 's plain and Simople as peaple know that there is Black and white people Living in Africa and they stay the way they are just like there is black and white People living in America and they all reproduce by their own kind except of course when mixed white and Black reproduce! as for blind fish I understand that, you may not see the purpose of why blind fish were created, that may be because you didnt create anything and your mind will never compare to God's mind, but just because you can't see the purpose that does not mean that there is no purpose. but what is plain and simple is that everything is , always has reproduced according to it's own kind, and always will.

Answer 10

Duh, the answer is obvious: God made it that way because without eyes it would look like a freak. What do you have against God and magic, like Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings? The stuff in those movies happens all the time. Just the other day I was walking down the street and two dueling wizards took out a whole city block. And God was just sitting there on his cloud eating Flaming Hots watching like, "I'm not going to clean that."
