The dragon fish lives 1,500 to 4,500 feet below the surface of the ocean \u2013 it is what is known as a \u201cdeep-sea\u201d animal. At that depth, light is minimal, and most deep-sea creatures can only see blue light because other wavelengths do not penetrate the ocean to such great depths.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In spite of this, the dragon fish can see red light because he has chlorophyll in his eyes. Yes, that\u2019s right, chlorophyll - stuff that makes plants green. This chlorophyll allows the dragonfish to see in the red spectrum, giving the dragonfish a secret weapon. It pulses far red light which allows it to see its prey without itself being seen. You could say that a dragon fish\u2019s eyes act like a night vision scope on a sniper\u2019s rifle. How can evolution explain a dragon fish evolving chlorophyll, the stuff of green plants, within its eyes? And how did it know that this chlorophyll would help it to see in the red spectrum? And why would it evolve the ability to see in the red part of the light spectrum when it could not have known that red light even existed? Does anyone believe that a night vision sniper scope happened by accident and chance? The dragon fish\u2019s sniper scope eyes bear witness to a powerful and unique designer, God Himself.<\/p>\n
