Ah Nemo. Well he\u2019s not hard to find in this aquarium, in fact he and his cousins are all there.\u00a0 $\"\"$ <\/a> $\"\"$ <\/a><\/p>\n

And there are plenty of other colorful fish to see as well, in these well constructed artificial reefs\u2026<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a><\/p>\n

And there\u2019s a fish that wins the best Halloween costume award\u2026 see if you can remember the name of this one\u2026.<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a> $\"\"$ <\/a> $\"\"$ <\/a> $\"\"$ <\/a><\/p>\n

The idea that all this variety and colors of fish could just happen by an impersonal abstract process called natural selection just seems absurd to me. It\u2019s far easier to believe that an artist Creator is behind all this beautiful variety and patterns, and in one sense, he did all this for those made in his image, who could appreciate and learn from the creation God made.\u00a0 I mean the fish are not likely complimenting each other on their nice stripes despite the Disney cartoons.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
