There are billions of fish and thousands of different species in our oceans, rivers, lakes and even in our ponds. When looked at closely they all point to a Creator that’s left His fingerprint behind. The decoy fish is just one example:
The decoy fish lives off the coast of Oahu, Hawaii and has a dorsal fin that looks like a small fish. It even has a dot on it where the eye should be. The fin is notched between the 1st and 2nd spine resembling the mouth of a fish. The horizontal bottom of the fin is transparent so it doesn’t appear to be attached to the decoy fish at all.
They decoy fish has an amazing hunting strategy. He knows how to use the fin as a lure to catch smaller fish. He does this by moving it in a specially designed routine to attract the fish:
STEP ONE: The decoys fish’s dorsal fin goes up and displays the shape of a smaller fish.
STEP TWO: Immediately upon raising the lure to view, the fish stops its gill movements, and slows its breathing.
STEP THREE: The fin lure changes to a deep red color, and a small horizontal area at the base of that fin changes to a transparent see-through band.
STEP FOUR: While the decoy fish remains motionless, it now moves the decoy fin from side to side, and causes that slit (the “mouth”) to open and shut!
STEP FIVE: The other fish draws near, curious to see that inviting small fish.
STEP SIX: Suddenly, the decoy fish snaps its prey in one quick movement.
STEP SEVEN: The fin color fades away and the fin is folded down onto the back of the decoy fish.
How could this complex hunting strategy ever evolve? If evolution is random and without intelligence how could the decoy fish have such a perfect “picture” of a fish on its own body?
The only logical and rational answer is an intelligent designer!

Thank you Renee. The more I look at individual creatures I’m amazed at how complex and wonderfully designed they are! 🙂
