The catching of these fish exposed just how far the fictitious speculation by evolutionist

scientists could go. Coelacanths had neither a primitive lung nor a large brain. The struc-
ture that evolutionist researchers thought was a primitive lung was nothing more than a
fat sac in the fish’s body. Moreover, contrary to what had been claimed, the fish did not
possess a large body. While it had a large skull, there was only a small brain inside it.
The idea of the only serious contender for the role of a “transitional form” between fish
and amphibians was thus eliminated.

At this, the popularity of the coelacanth in evolutionist publications came to a sudden end
and the coelacanth was hastily taken out of textbooks where it was presented as a sup-
posedly transitional form.

Evolutionists’ efforts have all been in vain. All the evidence refutes evolution and shows
that Creation is a fact. In one verse Allah says:

Say: ‘Truth has come and falsehood has vanished. Falsehood is always bound to vanish.’
(Qur’an, 17:81)
