Since I screwed up so badly on that question about what did God bring into existence first > Wisdom, I'll just do one more - if you're interested.
When Jesus told Peter to catch a fish, find a Roman coin in it's mouth and pay their taxes with it, what kind of fish was it that Peter caught?

A COD! No, I don't know really. I'll try to find out though.
To this day, you can still go to the Sea of Galilee and find a Peter Fish…an orange colored fish that has a large spot on its side. Local people say that the spot shows where Peter had to squeeze the fish to remove the coin. Link
Well, I need a name JD. Orange in colour is nice but not quite good enough. AND how could we know that this breed and not another is the kind that he would have caught?
Some people are calling it tilapia though...
St. Pierre or John Dory
So how do we know that's what it probably was?
Maybe, because they have a spot said to be that of the finger mark left.Where the fish was once grabbed to retrieve the Roman coin.
If I recall correctly, Jesus tells Peter to catch a fish but does not actually say if Peter did.
I guess we can safely assume that Jesus of Nazareth was not an abolitionist vegan.
I'm told that the tilapia is the only fish of Galalie that has a mouth large enough to hold a Roman coin :-)
