Here is my best evidence that there is NO intelligent Designer.  One look at this fellow and all the intelligence goes out the window.  Just a moment of humor there.  I actually find this fish to be rather interesting, and LARGE.

I agree the eye has to be one of the worst arguments for the Intelligent Design fanatics.  Our eyes are anything but perfect.  I've often said that if I designed a product with as many flaws as nature has, or as the great intelligent designer did, I would be sued and bankrupt within a week's time.

Couldn't that... Fish(?) also stand as evidence to the point that Natural Selection isn't real, because that ugly motherfucker has to be the most maladaptive organism I've seen since that broken Fan-Lizard in Avatar.

I love Sun Fish. They are really docile and big.

Yep, those are good questions.  The fish actually eats only Jellyfish, isn't that weird?

I like these fish, they are large so the mouth is probably larger than it appears, by this logic the eyes must be very big.
If it spends it's time on the surface, looking for jellyfish the strange fin may act like a keel.
I think they are toad fishes and hence poisonous so probably safe from most predators.
Jellyfish aren't fast so they don't need speed, though collisions with boats could a problem.

I recall a TV programme about these fish and it showed one lying on its side letting seagulls walk over it picking off parasitic worms.
