christians would use the fish symbol back in the day when they were being persecuted by the romans for there religious beliefs. if someone wanted to see if the other person was a christian. they would make an sort of semi-circle on the ground with there sandal or foot. if the other person was a christian they would respond with the same gesture only in the opposite direction. the end result would be a fish like shape on the ground.
Uh, no.
The fish symbol has been used to illustrate how Jesus calls Christians to be "Fishers of men". His last words before He ascended to Heaven were to make disciples of all the nations, and bring the good message to all people.
And to anyone that thinks Darwin came before Jesus might want to attend history class. Darwinism wasnt invented til the 1800s.
