84 DESIGN IN NATURE

The fish that transmit electrical waves communicate through these waves. Members of the
same species use similar signals. Due to their communal life, they change frequencies in
order to prevent confusion, which enables similar but distinct signals to be distinguished.

Experts name this system "Jamming Avoidance Response" or JAR for short.
When the fish encounters another at the same frequency, it changes its

frequency. This way confusion is avoided early and it, therefore, never
reaches any further.
All of this confirms the extremely complex systems in electrical fish.
The origin of these systems cannot be fully explained by evolution.
Likewise, Darwin in his book, The Origin of Species, admitted the

impossibility of explaining these creatures by his theory in a chapter called
31
"Difficulties of the Theory". Since Darwin, the electrical fish have been
shown to have much more complex systems than he thought.
Just like all other forms of life, electric fish were also created flawlessly
by Allah as a demonstration for us of the existence and infinite knowledge
of Allah Who created them.
