New Study: Blue Sharks Can Change Color

A shark that can change color? Yes! Based on a new study of nanostructures in the skin of blue sharks (a species of requiem shark that inhabits open, deep waters), scientists now believe that these sharks can actually change color as they dive, better matching the water around them.

Now, sharks are believed by evolutionists to be some of the oldest organisms on the planet (predating trees and even the North Star in their worldview), first arriving in the oceans 400 million years ago. And, over the hundreds of millions of years, they’ve barely changed! They forgot to evolve! Yes, in the evolutionary worldview, in nearly half a billion years, earth saw massive changes to the temperature, topography, chemical makeup, and life forms in the oceans—but sharks forgot to evolve. What nonsense.

Sharks, in all their complexity, were created by God on day five of creation week, along with the other swimming creatures.

This new study highlights, once again, the complexity of God’s creation. Sharks didn’t evolve complex skin that is perfectly suited to their environment by chance, random processes 400 million years ago. Sharks, in all their complexity, were created by God on day five of creation week, along with the other swimming creatures.

Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,
