pact than a computer, is a miracle of engineering. To maintain that
such an organ emerged by mutations—which evolution depends
on—is just as illogical as maintaining that a computer could emerge
from the soil as a result of natural phenomena such as wind and
rain. No rational person would obviously ever believe such a claim.
Yet National Geographic TV glosses over this complex organ during
its account of dolphin sonar by calling it "a product of evolution,"
without offering the slightest evidence.
Another creature whose complex design leaves the theory of
evolution floundering is the angelfish. Thanks to its flat body, this
animal buries itself in the sand to wait for its prey, and keeps a look-
out with two eyes which protrude like periscopes. One of the crea-
ture's most astonishing aspects is that it can also detect the ap-
proach of prey thanks to an organ which senses electrical signals.
When the moment comes, it suddenly lunges out of its hiding place
and swallows its prey in a single gulp.
National Geographic TV employed the expression "it developed
a sixth sense" during its description of this sense possessed by the
creature. This sensory system contains a most complex design: the
animal possesses an organ that perceives electrical impulses, nerves
which carry the signals received by that organ, and, most important
of all, a brain capable of transforming these signals into a meaning-
ful map. Highly effective connections transmit the signals between
the nerve cells. These connections have been designed to prevent
the signals from being lost or diminished in any way. In short, there
is a very detailed design and organization in the sensory system.
Since even a simple ammeter for measuring electric currents re-
quires a specific design, it is clear that this much more complex sen-
sory system was also intelligently designed.
After describing all these complex systems, National
Geographic TV claimed that they all emerged "by evolution," with-
out feeling the need to offer any evidence for this. Yet again, this
shows how dogmatically devoted National Geographic TV is to the
theory of evolution. It feels no need to test the foundations of the
