Coelacanth is an order of fish related to lungfishes. These are lobe-finned fish and adult females are larger in size than males. The largest recorded specimen of Coelacanth was 178 centimeters in length and weighed 98 kilograms. It is considered to be a critically endangered species and an estimated 1,000 fishes are alive today.[1]

Evolutionist scientists falsely claimed that the coelacanth existed on earth before 65 million years and extinct since then. This view held by the evolutionists has been criticized. Critics pointed that after a coelacanth was found in 1938 off Africa’s coast,[2] evolutionists have been unable to provide any explanation how these species survived for so long time.[3] Since 1938, many coelacanths have been caught. Scholars, citing the evidences obtained from numerous fossils, explained many fossils were buried under water-borne sediment after the Great Flood. This prevented decay and created an exquisite degree of preservation. This is why coelacanths are not extinct today.[2]
