Despite this manifest truth, the theory of evolution would
have us believe that “primitive sharks” did not possess these

electro-receptors in the way their modern-day counterparts
do, and that this perfect system only developed gradually
over time. However, the illogical nature of this assumption is

evident, for sharks could not survive without this system.
Moreover, such a perfect system could not have developed

over time, for the body muscles that transfer heat directly to
the eyes, as well as the systems that perceive electrical waves
with such extraordinary sensitivity, must have emerged as a

whole.
Thus, this system could not have come about in stages, as

evolutionists maintain, for the intermediate stages would
serve no purpose. The fossil record indeed confirms this:
There is absolutely no difference between shark fossils dating

back millions of years and present-day specimens.
In addition to the ampullae of Lorenzini, the sharks’ res-

piratory systems, which function as the magnetic receptors
that allow them to find their way, and their ability to swim at
high speeds are all miracles of creation. As with all other living

things, God has created sharks in an absolutely flawless form.
Such facts are all means that encourage people to think

deeply about the beauties created by God. There are lessons to
be learned from animals, for as the Qur’an states:
Among His signs is the creation of the heavens and Earth and

all the creatures He has spread about in them... (Qur’an, 42:29)
