FOSSIL SPECIMENS OF PLANTS
WILLOW
Age: 54-37 million years
Period: Eocene
Location: Green River Formation, Uintah County, Utah, USA
Plant cells accomplish a process that no laboratory can:
photosynthesis. In a plant's cell, organelles called chloroplasts absorb
sunlight and use it in conjunction with water and carbon dioxide gas
to produce starch.
This is the first link of the food chain and the food source for all
living creatures on Earth. Details of this very complex process are
still not exactly understood, and it is impossible for evolutionary
mechanisms to explain this complexity.
The fossilized willow leaf pictured is 54 to 37 million years old.
Willows that lived tens of millions of years ago employed
photosynthesis in the same way that they do today. They reproduced in
the same way and displayed the same features. This correspondence
pushes evolutionists into a desperate situation and once again stresses
the fact that living organisms are created by God.

GINKGO LEAF
Age: 50 million years
Period: Eocene
Location: Cache Creek Formation, British Columbia, Canada
Darwin himself first discovered that ginkgo leaf, which has left
abundant fossil remains in Earth's geologic layers, has never changed.
But in contrast to Darwin's assumptions, the ginkgo is not the only
living fossil that has survived to the present day.
The many living fossil specimens displayed in this book and thousands of others displayed in museums definitely refute Darwin. |
FERN
Age: 320 million years
Period: Carboniferous
Location: Lancashire, United Kingdom
By now, many plant fossils have been unearthed, and all of them have
something in common: They are all flawless, and exactly like those
plants alive in our day. Not a single fossil reveals that a particular
plant is the forebear of any other, or that another species is an
intermediate form. This is evidence that God created all living things.
The 320-million-year-old fern fossil pictured is one of the findings that shows the fact of Creation. |
This fossil is a two-sided one. The plant has left its imprint on both surfaces of the layerd stone.
METASEQUOIA
Age: 50 million years
Period: Eocene
Location: Cache Creek Formation, British Columbia, Canada
Metasequoia or "dawn redwood" is one of the largest, most
upright and symmetrical trees of the world. This fossilized leaf has
been preserved for 50 million years, verifying that the plant has never
changed. If, 50 million years ago, a species possessed all the features
it still has today, if it displays not a single trace of evolution, if
none of its features show any characteristic of being an intermediate
"missing link" fossil—and betray no inadequacy or "primitiveness," in
the words of evolutionists—then they cannot say that this species has
evolved. If a living species has not changed for millions of years and
the Earth overflows with the evidence, then it is not possible to talk
about evolution.
