Let me demonstrate: how many species are fish are there that can't survive in water? None.
If some had been "created" thousands of years ago, how many would you expect to see alive today? None.
Yet, I'm supposed to be impressed by the fact that every single fish in the sea can survive under water? It proves what exactly?
Precisely.
So many theists use this argument for creation.
"It must be designed! if it were one trillionth of a cunthair to the left, it wouldn't work, look at the evidence of design! Look how we fit into the world, water is there for us to drink, air for us to breath, all proof of design!"
The critical problem is the assumption, which is quite ridiculous, that the world is tailored to us and not vice versa. Quite simply, if the universe wasn't the way it is, we wouldn't be here to talk about it. If we as humans didn't fit into and thrive in our environment, we wouldn't be here to talk about it.
Or, as in your example...if the fish couldn't survive in water, it wouldn't be(and isn't) here for us to talk about!
Nothing miraculous, simply plain reality.
