HARUN YAHYA

ous pits sensitive to electrical fields, and these physical characteris-
tics have been proposed to explain their navigational ability.
Ocean currents create powerful electrical fields as they cross the
Earth’s magnetic field. These fields are like prominent highways in
the ocean for a shark. But however much these may explain, they
can’t shed light on how oceanic fish actually navigate. For example,
tuna don’t have the lateralis pits that sharks do, so what mechanisms
do they use to find their destination? Researchers have not found any
explanation for this. But even if a related mechanism is found one
day, the migration of fish will remain an extraordinary mystery, for it
is not possible for a fish to possess such a perfect skill by its own vo-
lition or by the effect of coincidences. Even a conscious and intelli-
gent human being cannot develop such an organ at will, yet fish have
enjoyed these characteristics for millions of years. Nothing but the

existence of God and the fact of His creation can explain the order in
animal life. God creates everything in the universe and shapes them
within an order. God inspires in them the superior intelligence they
display throughout their lives:
Everything in the heavens and the Earth belongs to God. He
knows what you are engaged upon… (Qur’an, 24:64)
