OK, what is the purpose of man - or cockroach for that matter, or mosquito??
Truth is, so many creatures contribute absolutely nothing, and some, like man, actually do harm, like damage the environment and disrupt nature's balance. Also, millions have disappeared and nothing happened
go and study advanced eco systems you will understand the importance of every creatures.

It only uses the electric or rather activate it,when its under pressure to run away from harm...in a nutshell naw the electric power God give am to use am defend itself from intruders & its predators...,No b say the fish dey carry am waka up & down.
yes it take a lot of energy from the fish to generate energy. for small fish the eel want to eat generate little electricity but if the eel is facing bigger threat that can lead to death, it will unleash the highest electricity its body can generate,

For the people that have catch the eel for food, said the fish is almost tasteless as its not edible for consumption.

Back then in Ughelli we used to eat some smaller electric fish. It looks like snake with strong body and scales..

I see.
Has hunger ever made u feel like eating anything u see even when it's not an edible thing? That's the point I am in now. Hunger is driving me crazy. A world where nobody cares for anyone is the world we are in now. Those who have parents and loving family to lean on, you don't know what u have. Lucky you!
Don't give birth to kids you can't take care of. This is the result of giving birth when someone is not capable.

Atheist come and explain. cheesy
Electric eels generate electric shocks through specialized cells called electrocytes that create an electric potential difference.

Ion channels control ion flow, producing an electric current. Three pairs of electric organs amplify the current, and a nervous system triggers simultaneous discharge for defense or hunting.

A control system regulates voltage and duration, allowing electric eels to produce up to 600 volts and 1 ampere, stunning predators or prey.

We know this basic knowledge. Is this the same electric shock we experience in our homes by electric current? If yes, why?

It doesn’t explain the basic concept generation of electricity and electric current.

This is the solution to Nigeria electricity problems.

Since fuel don cost, na to start to dey farm electric eels make we use am generate light .... at least the Eel no dey use Fuel
But u must dey feed am well daily.

Well, it's the same electric but different source

The electric shock from an electric eel and the electric shock from a household electrical outlet are both caused by the flow of electric current, but they have some key differences:

Electric eels generate electricity through biological processes, whereas household electricity comes from a power plant or generator.

Specialized cells (electrocytes) that create electric potential differences Ion channels controlling ion flow.

The purpose for which God created man is to worship him,

Cockroaches are a food source for other animals, and they play an integral role in the release of nitrogen, which is used by plants. Without cockroaches, the plants would suffer, and plants produce oxygen and without air to breathe humans can't live.

What amazes me is that some crazy people called atheist will be thinking, this fish must so wise to choose his defence and attacking mechanism to be electricity.
I'm just wondering why atheist refuses themselves to born as supermen/superhuman and very rich like Elon Musk, Bill gate etc

God is truly amasing

Spot on!!!!
There is an intelligent creator behind that design . And He’s an also a great purposer . With his almightiness, all his purposes for his intelligent creatures who love and obey him will one day come to fruition. No forces, humans or spirit can restrain Him. Isa 40:26

Soo, God was existing for zillions of years and doing just fine without man worshiping Him. Then one day, for absolutely no reason, He decided He needed man to worship Him. Okay o.

As for cockroaches and mosquitoes, animals that are totally harmless have disappeared and nothing happened, so you can be sure that if those disappeared nothing will happen, except that there'd be less deaths and nuisance for man.

Everything for man? Same way the universe revolved around the earth. Only to find out that earth is not even up to a speck of dust in the universe!
