the salinity of the surrounding water. And since the blood reaches an
isotonic level with sea water—when the osmotic pressures of the water
inside and outside are equalized, and they achieve the same density—
there is no loss of water from shark tissues to the outside.
It was also revealed that the coelacanth’s liver possess the neces-
sary enzymes to create urea. In other words, this fish possesses unique
blood characteristics not found in any other species in its class and

which appeared in sharks only tens of millions of years later.
According to Focus, Professor Keith S. Thomson described the dis-
covery of the coelacanth’s shark-like blood as “an evolutionary prob-
lem.” The magazine then stated further that, based on molecular
analyses, that no evolutionary link could be established between
sharks, of the cartilaginous fish class, and coelacanths, members of the

bony fish class. No evolutionary account can explain the similarity be-
tween the two species. Even molecular analyses—to which evolution-
ists generally resort in accounting for similarities—serve no purpose
here. The only possible explanation is that these animals were created,
by God.
