A fascinating fish...But are they good eating?

God made him do it!
This isn't an argument against evolution that requires proof to be contradicted. The argument is that evolution could not have created the archerfish. All that's necessary is to posit a way that evolution could -- not prove that that was exact way -- and the argument that it couldn't have happened falls apart.
whatever you need to do to maintain your faith is fine with me.....wrong, but fine with me
Heh!
Interesting that you posted this crevo article under philosophy and culture not science and religion. Does the United Church of God (the publishers of this article) believe creationism is a philosophy and not a science? Or is that selection simply your personal belief system apart from this church?
"My guess is that they evolved into liberals :)"
LOL..True, Only liberals and Darwinists would spend so much time and money making monkeys of themselves.
Yes, tea..but it's really old tea.

I would add Creationists to that list too ...
Anthropomorphism at it's finest.

And how did staph aureus develop resistance to penicillin? Were those bugs created in the first six days? Hopefully you wont get a staph infection but if you do you can specifically request a first generation antibiotic and then you can have a nice discussion in the afterlife about the subject.
I don't usually put a lot of thought into selecting the topics. It's a good question though. Science of course doesn't accept it as science, but I believe that eventually scientists will smack their heads and say "It was so obvious, what was I thinking?".
I'd place the odds that the author of this piece carefully researched and read all the academic literature on archerfish and their fossil history and evolution at about .000000000000000000000000000000001%.
Oh sure, if you like food that spits... :-)

"Develop" a resistance? The strains that had resistance are still around and those that did not aren't still around.
You've probably heard this before, but God designed a wide degree of variability into humans and animals so that we could survive in a number of different environments and circumstances. It would be a pretty poor design if an entire species got wiped out because the temperature dropped a degree.
Or die trying... a perfect example of natural selection.
I'm a little puzzled about why this disproves evolution.
