They believe it was evolutionary selection

Religion is religion.

"Nature does it best in terms of design,"

Nature does nothing -"nature" does not exist. "Nature" is a word used to describe the material part of all existence. There is no entity we can call "nature" that is supposedly doing anything. And "nothing" can't "design". Design is the product of intelligence, not chance. This statement in nonsense! Typical of scientists with materialistic presuppositions.

The author used the word "design" four times in the article.

Kind of hard to get away from that word in a story like this.

There are a lot of commonalities in biology.

Eyes and Wings are two others.

It's called convergent evolution- Similar structures arising independently.

I'll say it did. You can't even tell it's fish at all.

What's that? Oh, not 'fast food fish?'

Nevermind.

"evolving separately for millions of years"..."Nature does it best in terms of design,"

Compare that to the few hundred years it took man to fly and then fly to the moon....I'll take the human development cycle over the evolutionary one.

Shark tastes nasty to matter how related to tuna it is.

At one time this was called convergent evolution, as opposed to divergent evolution.

I have caught Tuna and I have caught Mako's...They are anything but similar.

The shark is a cartilaginous creature whose fins cannot articulate, and the Tuna is a bony fish whose fins not only articulate, but fold into recess' in its body.

There are so many dissimilarities with these two species its not funny.

"Lamnid sharks, which include mako and great whites, have been separated on the evolutionary tree from bony fishes, such as tuna, for over 400 million years. But the muscles and tendons that enable them to swim so fast are remarkably similar."

That such "coincidences" are mathematically improbable doesn't trouble Evolutionists in the least.

That such obvious examples of DNA code re-use, in which genetic subroutines skip generations (and species) to be re-used...likewise doesn't bother Evolutionists.

But historians will laugh at such people in less than a century (especially if any laid off techie programmers make a move into the History field).

Code re-use is prima fascia evidence of Intelligent Intervention, by the way. Ask any software engineer.
