Its explained very simply by the survival of the fittest. Each has developed its own methods of survival and reproduction.

And, it sounds like the Fogu fish explains man. I wasn't aware of the genetic similarities you describe but that would appear to be a fairly strong prima facie case that man descended from water dwelling creatures.

No it does not. Selection does not create anything, we need creation here to account for these species and there is no way they could have come about by gradual descent from other species. Let's hear how it happened, you can 't just wave a magic wand and say abracadabra-shazam evolve.

The point is that a creature supposedly so far removed from us has genes which are so like ours. If evolution were true, that would be impossible. Such similarity can only be due to intelligent design.

You've been caught up in one of Anti-Pope GoreMMM the Intolerant's little fantasies which is based on his misreading and misinterpreting of past news releases. There is no significant relationship between the fugu fish and man. However, both species have had DNA samples sequenced which gives researchers an abiity of compare the two and look for analogous genes. Since the fugu genetics are relatively compact and identifiable, this has lead to tentative identification of "similar" genes in humans.

I suggest you treat each claim from the Anti-Pope as utter horsesh!t until or unless you can verify it yourself. Fortunately, this is only rarely more difficult than doing a quick internet search on Google.com. Try it with the fugu fish and genetics and you'll soon know a great deal more about the subject than the Intolerant One.
