The reddish brown eel is just 1.7 inches long and has many of the hallmarks of the primitive eels of the Mezozoic era - some 200 million years ago.' (Mail)
1) It is a small eel!
2) It is not prehistoric - it is with us today!
3) If it's had 200 million years to change and hasn't bothered - it must be an eel without ambition!
4) It is NOT any less developed than any other eel - merely a non-conformist.
5) It is perfectly adapted to its environment.
6) It has no 'new' features in mid-development.
7) The word 'primitive' is extremely cunning here. It 'proves' the case for the evolutionist without the need for any evidence. The word is an adjective used to support an unwarranted opinion. It possesses all the features of any other eel yet is naughtily allocated to 'a primitive group' in order to validate current views.
8) I could argue that its very discovery - like that of the 'long extinct' coelocanth - fully disproves the hypothesising ideas of evolutionists but I shall not, as it is a mere indicator. (If only evolutionary scientists were as cautious!)
9) What precisely are 'dinosaur era characteristics'?
10) Note how even the term 'living fossil' is designed to 'keep the evolutionist right in his/her opinions!' This is 'a mere aberration'.
11) Although not an argument winner - it is difficult to see why any critter which is adapted to its environment should have 'needed' to evolve.
12) What did other variants of this eel develop into? What could it have developed into? After all - if it's been around that long it MUST have been evolving. Well, mustn't it?Maybe it's just an exception, eh? Maybe it's an eel that just 'couldn't be bovvered'.
13) Might this eel not have simply reached the edge of its genetic parameters? - Hardly likely though, is it? - All species in existence today have some 'residual' genetic flexibility.
14) It has many of the 'hallmarks of the primitive eels of the Mezozoic Era'. Pardon my suspicions - but isn't this also true about all the other 819 recognised species of eel existing today?
15) Having determined by opinion alone that there actually was a Mezozoic Era - all other 'developments' must be forced into this mould.
