Cuttlefish Evolution or Creation?

Biology
The cuttlefish is a type of marine mollusc classified with the cephalopods along with the octopus and the squid. The cuttlefish is lenticular with eight legs and two long tentacles and has an internal shell called the cuttlebone that is hard but brittle. The long tentacles are used to grasp prey, smaller marine animals. While living mostly in shallow waters, the cuttlefish can live in deeper waters. The eyes of the cuttlefish are extremely advanced, as the pupil has a unique "w" shape. Their unique eyes allow them to see behind them. The cuttlefish also has three hearts and blue-green blood from copper-containing proteins instead of the red iron-rich protein hemoglobin that mammals have. Cuttlefish can also move up and down in the water by changing their buoyancy by adjusting its internal gas and fluids.
The cuttlefish also has the power to camouflage itself by changing its color, shape, or texture to match its surroundings and can change to almost any color. Therefore, the cuttlefish can not only change its color, but it knows which color to change to in order to camouflage itself and it can change to that color. The cuttlefish can change its skin texture or shape to look like its surroundings, such as rocks or plants. This impressive ability cannot be a learned behavior or an evolved feature, but rather must be the product of Intelligent Design.
The cuttlefish has other unique self-defense mechanisms. The cuttlefish can release a cloud of ink to hide themselves from a predator. They can even make the cloud of ink denser to resemble a decoy cuttlefish to confuse the predator. Cuttlefish have been observed attempting to hypnotise their prey by flashing light and color from their bodies. The cuttlefish males also uses its color-change ability to attract females.
Another unique feature is that cuttlefish and other cephalopods do not follow their own DNA and actually edit their own genetic material by way of RNA. This editing is rare in most animals but common with cephalopods. Therefore, this genetic editing is a large problem for evolutionists and those who advocate evolutionary processes. Some have even suggested that cephalopod DNA comes from aliens in a desperate attempt to defend evolution. RNA was always thought to be the intermediate messenger between the DNA and the protein. However, with the cephalopods, the RNA can change information or edit information rapidly in order to adapt to its environment. The gene-editing capability of the cuttlefish and the cephalopods are a testament to a creative and capable Intelligent Designer who created the sea creatures and all life.
