LIVING FOSSILS
Marine Fossil Specimens -1
Catfish
Period: Eocene
Age: 50 million years
Region: Green River, Wyoming, USA
The 50-million-year old catfish in the picture has come down to the present day completely unchanged. Like all the other millions of fish created, this species never underwent evolution. The transition from water to dry land alleged by evolutionists never happened. Like other life forms, the catfish looked and lived 50 million years ago the same as it does today.
Hatchetfish
The fossil in the picture is a double aspect, negative-positive fossil.
Period: Oligocene
Age: 37 - 23 million years
Region: Czech Republic
Like several other deep sea fish these small, bright, silver fish resembling hatchets in appearance have light producing organs beneath their stomachs. These fish have up to 100 light organs capable of emitting light beneath their bodies. The hatchet fish, which has lived in the seas for millions of years with this perfect creation, never developed out of any other life form and has never turned into another one. The 37-to-23-million-year-old hatchet fish from the Oligocene period in the picture was found in the Czech Republic and is identical to specimens living today.
Jellyfish
This fossil jellyfish, which dates back 500 million years and proves that these organisms have never changed up to the present day, is just one of hundreds of millions of fossils that clearly show the invalidity of evolution.
Period: Cambrian
Age: 500 million years
Region: Wisconsin, USA
The way that the 500-million-year-old jellyfish in the picture has come down to the present day is quite literally a miracle because these marine organisms have no skeletons like fish do; theirs is a completely jelly-like structure. Under normal conditions this animal should have left no fossil remain behind it but Allah allowed this animal to be fossilized in order to invalidate evolutionists’ claims and has made it available as evidence from 500 million years in the past.
Jellyfish have no hearts, brains, bones, scales or eyes. They have simply a loose network of nerves. Some species of jellyfish are poisonous. Those that are not poisonous possess the ability to emit light as the result of a chemical reaction, known as bioluminescence, for self defense. Just like all other life forms, jellyfish are manifestations of Allah’s glorious creative artistry.
Opalescent Squid
Period: Jurassic
Age: 148 million years
Region: Solnhofen, Germany
Like other created like forms, this 148-million-year-old opalescent squid has come down unchanged to the present day. This is obvious proof that evolution never happened and that Allah creates all living things. The opalescent squid is one of the decapod family, and has 10 limbs protruding from its mouth region. Opalescent squids have highly sensitive senses of smell and taste. Their eyes are so powerful that with the vision they enjoy, by means of 70 million eye cells, they can immediately recognize a danger approaching from behind and perform a series of movements to protect themselves. Allah has given this animal a perfect defensive system. When attacked, the opalescent squid emits a dark-colored liquid from its ink sac, thus confusing the predator and allowing it to escape at high speed.
Halfbeak
Period: Jurassic
Age: 152 million years
Region: Regensburg, Germany
The halfbeak has a long, beak-like jaw, conical in shape and equipped with powerful teeth. Comparison of this 150-million-year-old fossil discovered in Germany with specimens living today shows that the species has undergone no change in its appearance, nor any other changes in its bone and tail structure. Halfbeaks are one of the countless species that demonstrate the invalidity of evolution. Halfbeaks, the oldest known specimens of which date back to the Jurassic period (206-144 million years ago) have remained unchanged for millions of years.
Trumpet Coral (Caulastrea curvata)
Period: Jurassic
Age: 150 million years
Region: Germany
Corals are invertebrate organisms living in the depths of the sea. There are various types, such as soft, horn and thorny corals. When coral dries and solidifies it has a stone-like structure. Corals often resemble brightly colored flower gardens at the bottom of the sea.
The 150-million-year fossil coral in the picture was petrified with all its details. As can clearly be seen from the two pictures, this coral is identical to corals living today. This means that despite the intervening 150 million years, corals have never changed; in other words, they never evolved.
Lobster
The fossil in the picture is a double aspect positive-negative one.
Period: Carboniferous
Age: 300 million years
Region: Illinois, USA
The fossil record is exceedingly rich and its numbers are sufficient for us to comprehend the origin of life. When we examine fossils we see that they appear suddenly, separately and with all their unique structures, with no supposed “evolutionary” “transitional forms” preceding them. This is one of ” the proofs that Almighty Allah created all living things. One of the fossils showing that Creation is a manifest reality is the 300-million-year-old lobster fossil shown in the picture. The details of the bodies of decapods, such as crabs, shrimp and crawfish, can also be clearly seen in this 300-million-year-old fossil. Like all other living things, this life form has remained the same since the day it was first created and has undergone not even the slightest change since.
Horn Shark
Period: Cretaceous
Age: 95 million years
Region: Lebanon
Present-day horn sharks have wide ridges on their long bodies. Examination of the 95-million-year-old fossil in the picture shows that the ridges on the body, and its head and tail structure have not changed in the least. The horn shark lives in the depths of the seas, and sometimes uses its pectoral fins to crawl over rocks. It lies in ambush for its prey in caves or reefs. It is approximately 1 meter long. The 95-million-year-old horn shark in the picture illustrates once again the defeat suffered by Darwinists and proves the fact that our Lord creates all living things.
Coelacanth
The fossil in the picture is a double aspect positive-negative one.
Period: Triassic
Age: 210 million years
Region: Madagascar
The discovery of a living coelacanth, a 210-million-year-old fossil specimen of which is shown in the picture, came as a severe blow to evolutionists. Evolutionist biologists seeking evidence for their theory of “a passage from water to land” had made highly irrational claims on the basis of the coelacanth. They suggested that the fish had a supposedly primitive (not fully functional) lung. This was described in a great many scientific references, and illustrations representing the coelacanth moving from water onto dry land were often published. Until 1938, many evolutionary biologists hypothesized that this life form used the two double fins on its body to walk along the sea bed and was a transitional form between marine and terrestrial animals. As evidence for these claims, evolutionists pointed to the bony structures in coelacanth fossil fins.
However, an event in the Indian Ocean on December 22nd 1938, totally demolished that idea. A living member of the Latimeria species, one of the coelacanth family, which had been depicted as a transitional form that had become extinct 70 million years earlier, was caught in the middle of the ocean! The discovery of a “living, breathing” coelacanth came as a huge shock to evolutionists. In addition, examination of the animal, thought to have disappeared 70 million years in the past, showed that coelacanths had never changed over 400 million years. More than 200 coelacanths, a species which evolutionists had declared long extinct, were caught in the years that followed in other regions, especially in 1939 in the mouth of the Chalumna River and off the coast of Madagascar, and in the seas off the Comorra Islands in 1952 and 1953.
The catching of these fish exposed just how far the fictitious speculation by evolutionist scientists could go. Coelacanths had neither a primitive lung nor a large brain. The structure that evolutionist researchers thought was a primitive lung was nothing more than a fat sac in the fish’s body. Moreover, contrary to what had been claimed, the fish did not possess a large body. While it had a large skull, there was only a small brain inside it. The idea of the only serious contender for the role of a “transitional form” between fish and amphibians was thus eliminated.
At this, the popularity of the coelacanth in evolutionist publications came to a sudden end and the coelacanth was hastily taken out of textbooks where it was presented as a supposedly transitional form.
Evolutionists’ efforts have all been in vain. All the evidence refutes evolution and shows that Creation is a fact. In one verse Allah says:
Say: ‘Truth has come and falsehood has vanished. Falsehood is always bound to vanish.’ (Qur’an, 17:81)
Brittlestar
Period: Devonian
Age: 400-380 million years
Region: Germany
The body of the brittlestar is different to that of other starfish. The brittlestar’s thin arms emerge from a body resembling a small flower, and this differentiates it from other starfish. One of the fossils proving that, contrary to what evolutionists maintain, gradual evolution never took place is the 380 to 400-million-year-old brittlestar fossil in the picture. The brittlestar was a brittlestar 400 million years ago just as it is today, and it has never undergone even the slightest change. Norman Macbeth, a well-known evolutionist, admits the invalidity of the theory of evolution, that has suffered a major defeat in the face of the fossil record:
“Unfortunately, in the field of evolution most explanations are not good. As a matter of fact, they hardly qualify as explanations at all; they are suggestions, hunches, pipe dreams, hardly worthy of being called hypotheses.” (Norman Macbeth, Darwin Retried: An Appeal to Reason, Boston: Gambit, 1971, p. 147)
Sardine
Period: Cretaceous
Age: 95 million years
Region: Lebanon
Sardines are nomadic fish that travel in schools, in deep water in winter and moderately deep water in summer. They are 15 cm (6 inches) long on average, with a maximum length of 20-22 cm (8.3 inches). These fish are often found in the Black Sea, Marmara, Dardanelles and the northern Aegean. The picture shows a 95-million-year-old fossil. As with all other living things created by Allah, this life form has never changed since it was first created and deals a severe blow to the theory of evolution.
Sockeye Salmon
Period: Cretaceous
Age: 110 million years
Region: Brazil
The picture shows a 110-million-year-old Cretaceous period sockeye salmon fossil discovered in Brazil. Paleontology has proved that there is no difference between life forms that existed millions of years ago and living specimens today. Millions of fossils proving creation have now made it impossible for scientists to defend the theory of evolution. Salmon are specially created by Allah. As soon as they hatch, salmon embark on a long migration to the sea. Chum salmon reach the sea after feeding for a few weeks, while Kin and Atlantic salmon reach it after completing their development over a period of one to three years.
On their first migration, young salmon travel along the river they find themselves in; as they mature on this journey to the sea, they face dangers such as polluted water and larger fish waiting to catch them. Those that escape these dangers and reach the sea complete their migrations. After spending a few years in the sea, they grow and their reproductive organs reach maturity; they then embark on an amazing journey. The first amazing fact on this journey is the length of the migration that fish undertakes. Salmon in the open sea have to swim thousands of miles in order to reach their objectives. For example, when the time comes for a Chum salmon to lay its eggs in the fall, it swims for more than 3,200 miles (5,150 km) along the Yukon River. Like all other living things, salmon behave as they are inspired by Allah and reveal the majesty of His creation.
Comb Jelly
The fossil in the picture is a double aspect, negative-positive one.
Period: Cambrian
Age: 525 million years
Region: Utah, USA
The picture shows a 525-million-year-old Cambrian period comb jelly. The reason why these animals, whose scientific name is ctenophores, are known as comb jellies is that they possess eight lines of cilia.
What differentiates comb jellies from other species of jellyfish is that they lack the venom-filled organ known as the nematocyst, which resembles a curved tube. The biological phenomenon known as bioluminescence can be seen in the majority of jellyfish and ctenophores.
This enables the organism to put on a wonderful sound and light show in the depths of the sea. There is no doubt that this characteristic has been given to this animal by Allah since it was first created by Him. This fossil, showing the appearance of this life form 525 million years ago, proves the invalidity of the theory of evolution.
Bivalve
Period: Jurassic
Age: 206-144 million years
Region: Majunga Basin, Madagascar
A look at this 206 to 144-million-year-old bivalve fossil found on the island of Madagascar shows that it is identical to specimens of the life form living today.
Bivalves can be observed in fossils right down to the finest details and the stripes running down them. As you can see, not the slightest change has taken place in this life form, despite the passage of 144 million years, and it has never evolved or turned into another life form.
Moon Coral
Period: Devonian
Age: 350 million years
Region: Atlas Mountains, Morocco
The famous Nobel Prize-winning evolutionist Dr. Robert Milikan expresses the invalidity of the theory of evolution as follows:
“The pathetic thing is that we have scientists who are trying to prove evolution, which no scientist can ever prove.” (SBS Vital Topics, David B. Loughran, April 1996, Stewarton Bible School, Stewarton, Scotland)
The fossil science and paleontology that made such advances in the 21st century have completely demolished the theory of evolution and revealed the fact that life forms do not gradually turn into one another. A lobster, an octopus, a squid and millions of other such species looked exactly the same 150 million years ago as they do today. The coral in the picture has never changed, despite the passing of 350 million years.
There are various types of coral, such as soft, hard and horn. Sea anemones are also a member of this class. Coral is the name given to the rocky skeletons of these life forms mixed with mineral substances. As a result of coral skeletons collecting in a specific region over thousands of years, coral reefs come into being. This exceedingly beautiful life form reflects the artistry of Allah.
Tiger Shark
Period: Cretaceous
Age: 95 million years
Region: Lebanon
Tiger sharks have a plump, cylindrical appearance and are some 3.5 meters (11.5 feet) long. They live alone and hunt many marine creatures. They even attack other species of sharks. The tiger shark takes its name from the dark stripes on its back, which disappear with age. The details of the skull and fins and the skeletal structure can clearly be seen in this 95-million-year-old fossil. As tiger shark fossils prove, living things never evolved. Allah created all living things.
These living fossils are identical to specimens living today and are therefore evidence holding up a mirror to the fact that species have never evolved over many millions of years. This means they deal a lethal blow to the theory of evolution.
The theory of evolution claims that only living things that can adapt to changing environmental conditions will ultimately survive, and that during this process, which takes place under the effect of various fictitious random changes, they evolve into other life forms. Living fossils, however, reveal that the theory’s idea that species will change over the course of time in line with changing conditions consists of a groundless myth. There are living fossils going back hundreds of millions of years. Living fossils such as the tiger shark, which have never changed despite going back some 400 million years, and the coelacanth, which evolutionists portrayed as an extinct transitional form, but which was later realized to be a bottom dwelling fish still living today, represent a very striking picture that totally discredit the scenario of change in the theory of evolution.
Opalescent Squid
Period: Jurassic
Age: 150 million years
Region: Solnhofen, Germany
The opalescent squid is a member of the Cephalopoda class, from the Decapodiformes group. It lives in the sea and has survived right down to the present day. The opalescent squid has always existed as the opalescent squid. It is not descended from any other life form and never turned into another one. Fossil findings that confirm this say that, like all other life forms, opalescent squid have never evolved. Opalescent squid protect themselves by squirting out ink that Allah has bestowed in their bodies at moments of danger, and they also exhibit a perfect camouflage technique.
Barracuda
Period: Miocene
Age: 5 million years
Region: Marecchia River Formation, Italy
The barracuda is a carnivorous fish that lives at depths of up to 100 meters (300 feet) in all hot and warm seas. They travel in schools and are exceedingly aggressive and voracious. They are even known to attack sharks. A Miocene period barracuda fossil dating back five million years and discovered in Italy clearly exhibits the small fins immediately beneath the head and on the tail, its delicate and long skull structure and its long body. All these details prove that despite the intervening five million years, the barracuda has never changed; in other words, that it never evolved.
Mantis Shrimp
Period: Cretaceous
Age: 95 million years
Region: Lebanon
Mantis shrimps, which have come down unchanged ever since the Carboniferous Period (354 to 290 million years), are another life form that refutes the theory of evolution. The fact that a life form never changes over 300 million years is not something the evolutionist logic can explain. The mantis shrimp fossil in the picture is 95 million years old and is identical both to mantis shrimps that lived 300 million years ago and also to those living today.
The mantis shrimp can reach up to 30 cm (12 inches) in length and has a shell of different colors. Divers refer to them as “finger snappers” because of their dangerous claws, and they possess one of the most complex eyes in the animal kingdom. The mantis shrimp can see twelve main colors, four times as many as human beings, and can also identify the direction of the vibrations occurring in different light waves.
Mene Maculata (Moonfish)
The fossil in the picture is a double aspect, negative-positive one.
Its broad body, small tail, skeletal structure and the two long fins extending from beneath its body:
These are some of the typical and identifying characteristics of the Mene maculata, which has never changed over millions of years. The fossil record is literally a picture of how these fish looked millions of years in the past, and shows that they have never changed.
These are some of the typical and identifying characteristics of the Mene maculata, which has never changed over millions of years. The fossil record is literally a picture of how these fish looked millions of years in the past, and shows that they have never changed.
Period: Eocene
Age: 54 – 37 million years
Region: Monte Bolca, Italy
The mene maculata fish, a member of the Menidae family, is mainly found in the waters of the Pacific Ocean. Many fossil remains of this life form from the Cenozoic period (65 million years to the present) have been found. The 54 to 37-million-year-old fossil in the photograph from the Eocene period is important evidence that this life form has never changed in any way. The fossil is identical in every way to members of the species living today, with its broad body, small tail, skeletal structure and the two long fins extending from beneath its body. The fossil record literally reflects a picture of how living things were millions of years in the past. If a life form has not altered in the slightest over tens of millions of years, then it is impossible to speak of these living things evolving.
Octopus
The fossil in the picture is a double aspect, negative-positive one.
Period: Cretaceous
Age: 95 million years
Region: Lebanon
The way that animals with no shells or vertebrae appear in the fossil record, together with all their details, is truly a great miracle of Allah’s. These animals’ heads, arms and eye sockets can clearly be seen in fossils. In this way, people can witness the fact that no life forms ever change by seeing the fossil records for all living things created by Allah. The octopus is a member of the cephalopod class. Their bodies are short and round. They have a pair of highly developed eyes. Eight arms emerge from around their heads. These arms are all of the same length and are connected to one another at the bottom by a thin membrane. There are two rows of suckers on each arm. Different species vary in size from two to three cm to 10 meters (one inch to 30 feet) in length. They move across the sea bottom by crawling along on their arms, or can also move much faster using a jet system to emit the water they absorb into their bodies at high speed. Octopi also have an advanced ability to change color, which enables them to conceal themselves with ease. They open mussel and oyster shells, place a stone inside to prevent the shell from closing again, and consume the contents. Since they have no shells, they can flatten their bodies and arms and squeeze into very tight spaces. Like other life forms, the octopus is the work of Allah’s magnificent creation.
File Fish or Slender Fish
Period: Cretaceous
Age: 95 million years
Region: Hakel, Lebanon
Evolutionists claim that fish evolved from invertebrate marine organisms, amphibians and modern-day fish from a supposed “ancestral” fish, reptiles from amphibians, birds and mammals from separate reptiles and, finally, human beings and monkeys from a common ancestor. However, not one single transitional form that might corroborate that claim has ever been found in the fossil record.
The 95-million-year-old fossil file fish shown on this page is identical in every respect to specimens alive today. Therefore, like all other species, this life form has never changed in the least over millions of years, and never evolved. Every fossil discovery proves that the theory of evolution never happened and that all living things are created by Allah in all their perfect forms.
Paddle Fish
Period: Eocene
Age: 50 million years
Region: Green River Formation, Wyoming, USA
The paddle fish’s highly pronounced spatula-like mouth, its nose structure and the small fins along most of the length of its body can be clearly seen in this 50-million-year-old fossil. The animal has never changed in the intervening 50 million years, and never evolved. When he launched his theory of evolution, Charles Darwin claimed that life forms evolved from one another by way of mutations; yet the millions of fossils that have been unearthed show that life forms are not descended from one another, and that they have remained the same since they were first created to the present day. The scientist Stephen Jay Gould states how no passage between species is possible through mutations:
“A mutation doesn't produce major new raw material [DNA]. You don't make new species by mutating the species.” (Stephen Jay Gould, "Is a New and General Theory of Evolution Emerging?", Lecture at Hobart & William Smith Colleges, 4 February 1980)
Thornback Ray (Raja clavata)
Period: Cretaceous
Age: 95 million years
Region: Lebanon
The thornback ray is a member of the family Dasyatidae and is unique to the northeast Atlantic and the Mediterranean. It inhabits a very wide region, from Madeira and Morocco to the British Isles, from the south of Norway to the Baltic, and from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean and the Black Sea. Its nose is short and broad. The front part of its body is quite smooth. The rear part, on the other hand, is curved slightly upward. The tail is on average 1.4 times the length of the body. There is a poisonous spike on its tail.
Examination of this fossil that lived 95 million years ago shows that it is physiologically identical to a specimen alive today. Despite the passage of millions of years, the fish has preserved its long, thin tail structure and body that opens out to the side in two wings, and it has never altered in the slightest. A 95-million-year-old thornback ray proves that living things did not evolve and that Allah creates all life forms.
LIVING FOSSILS
Marine Fossil Specimens -2
Tarpon
Period: Cretaceous
Age: 110 million years
Region: Santana Formation, Brazil
Tarpons are large fish covered in thick, silvery scales that can grow to five to eight feet long. Their upward curving lower jaw makes it easy to distinguish them. They swim very well, by means of their shuttle-shaped body and powerful tail. The tarpon is most commonly found in the warm waters of the American Atlantic coast. It sometimes comes to the western shores of West Africa. The Atlantic tarpon (Tarpon atlanticus) can reach 2.5 meters (eight feet) in length and a weight of 130 kg (287 pounds).
The tarpon reproduces in open waters and can lay up to 12 million eggs, but the young migrate to the shore and live in muddy shallows and river mouths. Adults may also approach shallow shores to hunt small fish and even enter rivers. Tarpons are popular with amateur fishermen because they are very strong, put up a fierce resistance after being hooked and can jump several meters into the air. Just as with other species, this fossil tarpon proves that these living things have never changed and never underwent evolution.
Needlefish (Belone belone)
Period: Cretaceous
Age: 95 million years
Region: Lebanon
The fossil record refutes the theory of evolution in all aspects. A 95-million-old Mesozoic era fossil needlefish is one of those that deal a severe blow to the theory of evolution. Despite the passage of 95 million years, this life form has never changed, and it has preserved its long mouth and thin body since the day it was first created. The needle fish, a member of the Belonidae family with a long and thin body, can attain lengths of up to one meter (3.2 feet) and lives for 18 years on average. The needle fish feeds on small fish such as sprats, whitebait and sardines. A comparison of a living needle fish specimen with a 95-million-year-old fossil clearly shows that these living things never evolved and that Almighty and Omniscient Allah creates all life forms.
Ranila Crab
This species of crab, with a much smaller body than that of other crabs, has five pairs of legs but no claws. This typical characteristic was also present in Ranila crabs 50 million years ago.
What fossils show us is that life forms have never changed, in other words, that they never evolved.
What fossils show us is that life forms have never changed, in other words, that they never evolved.
Period: Eocene
Age: 50 million years
Region: Tuscany, Italy
Like all created life forms, the Ranila crab has not changed at all over millions of years. Allah has preserved them just as they always are. This is evidence that evolution never happened and that Almighty Allah creates all living things. The fact the Ranila crab has remained unchanged despite the intervening 50 million years invalidates evolutionists’ claims and proves to the entire scientific world that evolution never happened.
This life form has a much smaller body than that of other crabs and possesses five pairs of legs, with no claws. It constantly moves backward. They bury themselves in the sand when the tides are coming in and out for protection against predatory birds. Allah certainly bestowed all these characteristics on them. The fact that this life form has remained unchanged despite the passage of 50 million years show that evolutionists are not telling the truth and that theirs is a totally imaginary scenario.
Bowfin (Amia calva)
The sharp teeth, jaw structure, fins and detail in the tail have all been preserved in this bowfin fossil dating back 50 million years. This fossil shows that the fish has never changed and reveals the invalidity of the theory of evolution.
Period: Eocene
Age: 50 million years
Region: Messel Formation, Germany
Since the theory of evolution is not based on any scientific evidence and is kept propped up with fabricated scenarios and propaganda techniques, it is impossible to find any fossil to corroborate this fictitious theory. Darwinists have written a fictitious natural history and have sought to make fossils fit that theory; but the exact opposite has happened, and every new fossil discovery places the theory of evolution in an even more impossible position.
The bowfin fossil in the picture dates back 50 million years. The animal’s sharp teeth, jaw structure, the fins beneath its body, the large, long fins on top of the body and the oyster-like tail have all been perfectly preserved and it has been realized that there is no difference between this specimen’s skeletal system and that of present-day bowfins. The bowfin lives in the muddy, sandy or reedy bottoms of lakes and rivers in Central and Eastern Anatolia. It feeds on small animals, insects and larvae from the mud it sucks up on the bottom. It can withstand the high temperatures of shallow waters. A 50-million-year-old fossil specimen of this life form reveals the invalidity of the theory of evolution.
Capros Fish (Boar Fish)
Period: Oligocene
Age: 37 – 23 million years
Region: Poland
Paleontological research over the last 150 years or so has never unearthed a single fossil that might serve as evidence for the theory of evolution. All the fossils unearthed show that life forms never evolved.
A comparison of a living capros fish with a fossil form dating back 37 to 23 million years clearly shows that the fins emerging from the animal’s back, the structure of its skull and its tail have never changed. The fish is almost as wide as it is long. Six species of this fish live in the depths of the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans. Allah created this species of fish as He did all other living things, and the animal has come down to us completely unchanged to the present day.
Herring
The fossil in the picture is a double aspect, negative-positive one.
Herring, which move in large schools and feed on plankton, travel very great distances. As can be seen in detail in this 50-million-year-old fossil herring, not the slightest alteration has taken place in its body.
Period: Eocene
Age: 50 million years
Region: Monte Bolca, Italy
Herrings are fish approximately 30 cm (12 inches) long that live in northern seas. Its body is flattened at the sides, its back is blue-green in color and its stomach silver. They travel in large schools and feed on plankton. The fish has a life span of approximately 18 years. There are two species of herring; one never leaves the sea, while the other comes to river mouths to breed.
Herring travel for long distances as plankton change location. At breeding time, they form schools consisting of millions of members. The eggs that attach to stones and seaweed form a layer 1 cm (0.39 inches) thick in some places. The baby herring that hatch from the eggs are hunted by other animals. Therefore, although few grow to full size they again form large schools. The fact that a herring fossil dating back 50 million years is identical to a herring living today proves to the scientific world that evolution never happened.
Shrimp
Period: Jurassic
Age: 150 million years
Region: Germany
The fact that a fossil of a living thing that existed 150 million years ago can be preserved so perfectly, and that as a result we have the possibility of observing every detail in its body, has dealt a severe blow to the theory of evolution. The anatomy of the shrimp in the picture, that lived 150 million years ago, the legs emerging from its body and the structure of its head, can all be seen quite clearly. Shrimps have survived completely unchanged for 150 million years and clearly show that Darwinists, who maintain that living things are in a constant state of change from the supposedly primitive to the more advanced, are not telling the truth.
The shrimp lives in European seas and the shores of North America, and belongs to the crustacean class. It has a cylindrical body and long antennae. It is covered in armor made of calcium carbonate. Its body is jointed. It swims backward by waving its fin-like tail. Its tail is pronounced and resembles a fan in appearance. Its two pairs of antennae are very long and forked. At least one of these forks curves backward, enabling the shrimp to edge backward into cracks and crevices and warning it of danger approaching from behind. The shrimp’s most distinctive action in the face of danger is to seek to protect itself by a sudden bending of the body. It can adapt its body color to blend in with its surroundings. Some species have large claws and feed on small fish, while others scavenge on food particles among the sand. Some of these species have brush-like hairs on their claws to help them gather up food particles.
Atlantic Cod
Period: Oligocene
Age: 37-23 million years
Region: Poland
Darwinists claim that all life forms change and evolve from one another; that is why fossil specimens that lived millions of years ago are so important. Life forms have remained unchanged despite the passage of millions of years. One single living fossil is by itself sufficient to prove this, though the Earth is full of countless living fossils.
One specimen that invalidates the theory of evolution is a 37 to 23-million-year-old Atlantic cod fossil. Examination of the animal’s skeletal structure, head, tail and fins shows that its anatomical features are identical to those of specimens living today. Cod are migratory fish that live in temperate and cool seas at depths of between 30 to 300 meters (100 to 1,000 feet). They have long, thin bodies and vary in size between 20 to 50 cm (eight to twenty inches), depending on the species. They may weigh up to one to two kg (two to five pounds). Cod travel in schools and feed on small fish and crustaceans. A female cod lays around 200,000 eggs. As with fossil remains of other species, this Atlantic cod fossil proves that evolution never happened.
Crayfish
The fossil in the picture is a double aspect, negative-positive one.
The large claws on the front of the 160-million-year-old crayfish fossil in the picture, the structure of its head and feet, and its slightly backward curving body are identical to those of present-day specimens and have never changed in any way.
Period: Jurassic
Age: 160 million years
Region: Yixian Formation, Liaoning, China
An average adult crayfish is 10 to 15 cm (four to six inches) long, two to three 2-3 cm (0.75 to one inch) wide and weighs 40 to 50 grams (1.4 to 1.7 ounces). They generally inhabit muddy and sandy areas. By day, they conceal themselves in holes they dig in these areas or under rocks among plants. At night, they come out to feed. They consume both animal and vegetable foodstuffs. Crayfish change their shells eight times during their youth and one to two times a year as adults.
Not one of the transitional forms evolutionists have been talking about for 150 years has ever been found in the fossil record. The 160-million-year-old crayfish in the photograph has never changed in any way. Different living species appear separately, in a single moment and with all their particular structures, with no so-called evolutionary “transitional forms” between them. This once again proves that Allah creates all living things.
Dentex
Period: Eocene
Age: 50 million years
Region: Monte Bolca, Italy
The head structure, the short fins on the body, the tail divided in two parts and the small fins beneath the body can all be clearly seen in this 50-million-year-old dentex fossil from the Eocene period.
With all their details, fossils preserved in stone totally discredit all evolutionary scenarios. Allah has preserved the fossil remains of things that lived millions of years ago in stone, literally like photographs. The scientific world has thus been able to observe that life forms have never changed in the slightest and that they never evolved. Darwin admitted in the chapter “Difficulties on Theory” in his book The Origin of Species that this represented a major dilemma for his theory:
“... Why, if species have descended from other species by insensibly fine gradations, do we not everywhere see innumerable transitional forms? Why is not all nature in confusion instead of the species being, as we see them, well defined?… But, as by this theory innumerable transitional forms must have existed, why do we not find them embedded in countless numbers in the crust of the earth?… Why then is not every geological formation and every stratum full of such intermediate links? Geology assuredly does not reveal any such finely graduated organic chain; and this, perhaps, is the most obvious and gravest objection which can be urged against my theory.” (Charles Darwin, The Origin of Species, pp. 172, 280)
Chimaera
There is not one single piece of evidence that evolution ever happened. Millions of fossils from tens of thousands of species have been discovered to date. But all of these belong to complete, fully formed and complex life forms with a perfect appearance.
This chimaera with its unique appearance was swimming in the seas 320 million years ago and has come down to us unchanged to the present day.
Period: Carboniferous
Age: 320 million years
Region: Montana, USA
The picture shows a 320-million-year-old fossil chimaera, perfectly preserved with its fins, head and tail. These fish, with splendid teeth, fins on either side, eyes resembling those of human beings and a 30 cm (12 inch) long whip-like tail, have never changed over the course of 320 million years. The fossil shows all the animal’s details, as well as the fact that it has never changed. The invalidity of the theory of evolution is becoming clearer with every passing day due to the evidence provided by the fossil record. Allah creates all living things with His infinite knowledge and artistry.
Grinner Fish
Period: Cretaceous
Age: 95 million years
Region: Lebanon
Evolutionists cannot point to a single transitional form they could use as evidence against the fact of creation. Were the evolutionists’ claims true, then the fossil record should contain millions of transitional forms evolved from millions of species in the universe. But there exists not one transitional form in the fossil record, and all the fossils that have been discovered prove that life forms have never changed, that they never evolved. This 95-million-year-old grinner fish fossil from the Cretaceous period is one specimen showing that this life form has never changed despite the intervening millions of years. The evolutionist scientist Gordon Rattray Taylor admits to these dilemmas facing the theory of evolution as follows:
“It is a striking, but not much mentioned fact that, though geneticists have been breeding fruit-flies for sixty years or more in labs all around the world—flies which produce a new generation every eleven days—they have never yet seen the emergence of a new species or even a new enzyme.”(Gordon R. Taylor, The Great Evolution Mystery, New York: Harper & Row, 1983, p. 48.)
Sturgeon
Period: Jurassic
Age: 150 million years
Region: China
The sturgeon is a freshwater fish comprising the Acipenseridae family, up to eight meters (25 feet) long and weighing up to 1.6 tons. Their skeletons are only partly cartilaginous. They have five rows of large scales along their flanks. Their tails are asymmetrical, their mouths point downward and they can make their mouths protrude when necessary. They have four whiskers, which enable them to seek food on the bottom. Most species of sturgeon only come to fresh water to breed and generally live in salt water. The largest species of sturgeon, the beluga sturgeon, lives almost exclusively in salt water and comes from the sea to fresh water to lay its eggs. The 150-million-year-old sturgeon fossil in the picture completely refutes the evolutionist idea that life forms are descended from one another. The fossil proves that, as with specimens living today, the fish’s tail structure, the fins right to the side of the head and the other fins on its body have never changed. Like all other living things in the universe, the sturgeon was created by Allah with infinite wisdom.
Herring
Period: Cretaceous
Age: 144-65 million years
Region: Morocco
Robert Shapiro, a professor of chemistry and expert on DNA from the University of New York has calculated the probability of the 2,000 types of protein in just one simple bacterium emerging by chance. The figure he obtained was a probability of 1 in 10 plus 40,000 zeroes. Prof. Chandra Wickramasinghe comments:
“It [one to a number with 40,000 naughts after it] is big enough to bury Darwin and the whole theory of evolution. There was no primeval soup, neither on this planet nor on any other, and if the beginnings of life were not random, they must therefore have been the product of purposeful intelligence.” (Sir Fred Hoyle, Chandra Wickramasinghe, Evolution from Space, p. 148)
The 144 to 65-million-year-old herring fossil in the photograph clearly proves that fish are created to always be fish, and that they never evolved into any other life form. The millions of fossils extracted from the Earth’s rock strata have dealt a severe blow to the theory of evolution and expose its invalidity.
John Dory
Period: Oligocene
Age: 37 - 23 million years
Region: Carpathian Basin, Poland
The fossil record shows that all fish species exist with their own unique characteristics, that they have no evolutionary relationships with other species and that the idea of a “common ancestor of fish” is a completely imaginary one. The Turkish evolutionist Ali Demirsoy admits that the claims regarding different species of fish turning into one another are “based on hypothesis:”
"There are merely assumptions regarding the division of boned fish from the earliest known Paleozoic jawed fish." (Ali Demirsoy, The Basic Laws of Life, Vol. III, Part I, p. 248)
John Dory has a high, flat body and a wide mouth, and is covered in small scales.
The fact that this fish which lives close to the bottom, has not changed for 37 to 23 million years invalidates all evolutionary claims about the origin of life and shows that Allah creates fish and all other living things.
Just like its counterparts living today, the spiny fins protruding from the upper and lower body of John Dory in the picture and its tail structure are very clear. This fossil also proves that all the Darwinists’ claims are untrue. All living things in the universe are the work of our Lord Allah and they are all created with an unequaled artistry.
Minnow
Period: Miocene
Age: 23 – 5 million years
Region: Shang Dong Region, China
Minnows are freshwater fish belonging to the family Leuciscinae. This is a large family consisting of 48 species. Minnows are very small and live for only three to four years. Larger species live for between seven and ten years.
A 23 to 5-million-year-old fossil minnow clearly demonstrates that the fossil record refutes the theory of evolution. There is not the slightest difference between this 23 to 5-million-year minnow fossil and minnows living today. Fossil findings give the lie to the theory of evolution and prove the fact of creation.
Sand Lances (Ammodytes)
Period: Oligocene
Age: 37 - 23 million years
Region: Poland
Sand lances belong to the family Ammodytes and have a long, needle-like body and a small, forked tail. These fish are around 15 cm (6 inches) long. They bury their long, thin bodies in the sand to hide from predators. Thousands of these fish swim along together, looking for food. According to the theory of evolution, species supposedly evolved from one another gradually, in stages, by undergoing minute changes. But the long thin body, the head and tail of the living fossil in the picture have never changed at all. Evolutionists have been deceiving people with imaginary scenarios for many years. But, just like other species, the sand lance was created as a fish by Allah and has survived down to the present day as exactly the same fish.
Sawfish
The fossil in the picture is a double aspect, negative-positive one.
Period: Cretaceous
Age: 95 million years
Region: Lebanon
Sawfish belong to the family Pristidae. Their nose resembles a long saw, and they have two dorsal fins. They live in the Atlantic Ocean, the Mediterranean, the Pacific and northern Australia. These fish reach a maximum of 7.5 meters (25 feet) in length and generally live for up to 30 years. Examination of sawfish living today shows that they have the same characteristic saw-like nose and fins on the edges of their bodies as in this 95-million-year-old fossil.
Life forms living today also appearing in the fossil record deals a heavy blow to the theory of evolution because this 95-million-year-old fossil is identical to members of the species living today. The sawfish once again proves that living species have preserved their features up to the present day.
The sawfish, which can be seen in detail as it appeared 95 million years ago, has survived just as it was then, despite the intervening millions of years. Its two dorsal fins and all other details show us that these living things have remained unchanged for millions of years. Furthermore, the stasis in life forms, the way they remain unchanged, shows that Allah, the Almighty and Merciful, creates all life forms in a single moment.
Catshark
Period: Cretaceous
Age: 95 million years
Region: Lebanon
The catshark is a member of the shark family. These fish live in warm seas at depths from 3 to 1,000 meters (appr. 10 to 10,000 feet) and do not make long migrations. They feed on crustaceans, invertebrates and small fish. Their length ranges from 50 to 150 cm (20 to 60 inches). This species lays its eggs in the fall in a sac it deposits among the rocks and can lay eggs several times a year.
The head of the catshark, resembling that of a small shark, and its small fins can clearly be seen in this 95-million-year-old fossil. The fossil shows that, despite the passage of millions of years, catsharks have remained the same since the day they were first created. Allah has created millions of species living beneath the sea, and they are all the work of His sublime artistry.
Stingray
The most distinguishing feature of the 180 species of ray is their long tail.
Stingrays use their electricity generating tails solely for defensive purposes. All the details in the body of this 95-million-year-old stingray fossil are clear and show that this life form has remained the same for millions of years.
Period: Cretaceous
Age: 95 million years
Region: Lebanon
Stingrays, with their flat bodies, belong to the order Rajiformes. They are particularly common in the shallow seas of Europe and bury themselves in the sand. The male is approximately 70 cm (27 inches) long, and the female 125 cm (50 inches). There are as many as 180 individual species. The skin is thin and slippery. Their backs are brown and their stomachs silvery. They have large chest fins attached to both sides of the body. The electric organs in their tails are used solely for defensive purposes. These fish hunt at night and feed on small fish, crustacean and plankton.
The 95-million-year-old fossil stingray in the picture proves that this life form has never changed, that it never evolved.
Lanternfish
Period: Miocene
Age: 8 million years
Region: Italy
Lanternfish live in deep waters in various oceans. These small fish have light-emitting organs in their bodies. These light emitting organs are generally in their abdominal regions. Since they inhabit deep, dark waters they use their light both to illuminate their surroundings and also to warn off predators. Evolutionists have no explanation whatsoever for how these fish came to possess a highly complex system capable of emitting light from their bodies many millions of years ago because evolutionists claim that living things evolve from the primitive to the more advanced.
Allah created the eight-million-year-old fossil lanternfish in the picture together with all its complex systems.
Pipefish
Period: Pliocene
Age: 4 million years
Region: Italy
When he proposed his theory of evolution, Darwin never imagined that fossils dating back millions of years would be preserved, and that these formerly living things would literally survive down to the present day as if they have been photographed. However, the millions of fossils that have been unearthed show that life forms have never changed and that they are the same today as the day they were first created.
The four-million-year-old fossil pipefish in the picture shows that this life form has never altered in the slightest. The fossil record reveals that living things never evolved and that Almighty Allah created them all.
Bivalve
Period: Jurassic
Age: 206-144 million years
Region: Majunga Basin, Madagascar
These organisms feed by filtering food particles from water. Their bodies consist of two symmetrical shells joined by a hinge. They live in fresh water. Sand mussels and oysters are also members of this class.
The fossil shows that not the slightest change has taken place in this life form despite the passage of between 206 to 144 million years. If, like other life forms, this one has not undergone the slightest alteration over 206 million years, then it is impossible to speak of an evolutionary process. Bivalves were created with all the features they possess today.
Moon Coral
Period: Devonian
Age: 350 million years
Region: Atlas Mountains, Morocco
Moon corals inhabit the Caribbean and Red Seas and the Pacific and Indian oceans. They feed on phytoplankton, sediment and wastes. Although moon corals are invertebrates, their fossils have nonetheless been very well preserved. A 350-million-year fossil shows that this life form has come down to the present day with all its characteristics and that it has never changed. Despite the passage of 350 million years, this coral never turned into an amphibian, and then a reptile, and then into a bird or a mammal. It has come down to the present day exactly as it was created so many millions of years ago.
Prof. Chandra Wickramasinghe admits the following facts regarding the theory of evolution:
“From my earliest training as a scientist, I was very strongly brainwashed to believe that science cannot be consistent with any kind of deliberate creation. That notion has had to be painfully shed. At the moment, I can't find any rational argument to knock down the view which argues for conversion to God. We used to have an open mind; now we realize that the only logical answer to life is creation—and not accidental random shuffling.” (Chandra Wickramasinghe, Interview in London’s The Daily Express, August 14, 1981)
LIVING FOSSILS
Marine Fossil Specimens -3
Catshark
Period: Cretaceous
Age: 95 million years
Region: Lebanon
This fossil, which shows that an approximately 95-million-year-old catshark was identical to those living today, invalidates all evolutionist claims. If a living thing has undergone not the slightest change over tens of millions of years, then there can be no question of living things evolving.
No evolutionary process of the kind alleged by evolutionists ever took place. There is no difference between the 95-million-year-old catshark in the photograph and specimens alive today. Allah creates all the living things in the universe.
Sardine
Period: Eocene
Age: 54-37 million years
Region: Green River Formation, Wyoming, USA
Sardines live in shoals. Several sardines have been petrified at the same time in this 54 to 37-million-year fossil. The fossil is evidence that sardines were created in a single moment, together with all their characteristics, and that they have not altered over tens of millions of years.
The head structure, the small fins on top of and underneath its body and the forked tail can all be seen very clearly in the fossil. Like all life forms in the universe, sardines are the work of our Omniscient and Almighty Lord.
Sturgeon
Period: Cretaceous
Age: 125 million years
Region: Yixian, Liaoning, China
Sturgeon, which comprise the family Acipenseridae, are the world’s largest freshwater fish, but also live in the sea. Some of them reach up to five meters (17 feet) in length. Sturgeon can weigh over a ton. These fish have two fins on both sides of their head and body, four whiskers and long, thin jaws.
The 125-million-year-old fossil remains of this life form are identical to specimens living today. With its structure that has remained unchanged for millions of years, this Cretaceous period fossil sturgeon defies the theory of evolution.
Sea Horse
Period: Pliocene
Age: 3 million years
Region: Marecchia River Formation, Italy
Students in schools around the world are taught a myth of evolution that never happened. According to this myth of evolution, life forms developed into one another through a process lasting millions of years. Yet the fossil record dating back millions of years refutes all these claims. A comparison of the fossil strata and specimens living today shows us that fish have always remained fish, reptiles have remained reptiles, birds have remained as birds and monkeys have remained as monkeys. Indeed, the fossils of living things are so clear in the rock strata, with all their details, their tail structures, their heads, and fins or wings, that evolutionists no longer have the means with which to defend the theory of evolution.
The unique appearance of the sea horse, from the family Syngnathidae and the genus Hippocampus, can be seen very clearly in this three-million-year-old fossil. This living thing proves creation by having remained unchanged over millions of years.
Eel
Period: Cretaceous
Age: 95 million years
Region: Lebanon
Eels, from the family Anguillidae, live in rivers and come to the sea to lay their eggs. These animals, which weigh approximately 4 kg (nine pounds) and are 1.5 meters (seven feet) long, live for some 10 to 15 years.
Several species of eel have no scales on their hard and slippery skin. These animals have very strong tails, which they use like digging tools. Some eels are carnivorous, and thus have powerful teeth and jaws.
Despite the passage of 95 million years, eels have preserved all the characteristics they were first created with. They have never evolved and turned into any other species, but have existed for tens of millions of years with the same complex features. All fossils prove that Allah creates living things and that life forms never evolved.
Bowfin (Amia Calva)
Period: Eocene
Age: 50 million years
Region: Messel Formation, Germany
Bowfins generally live in North America. They are part of the order Amiiformes and are just one of the life forms that have remained the same for millions of years. The 50-million-year-old Eocene Period fossil bowfin you see in the picture defies evolution and shows that despite the intervening millions of years, this life form has not altered in the slightest.
The animal’s forward curving head, the tail stuck to its body, its upper and lower fins and its skeletal structure can be seen in all their fine detail. A 50-million-year-old bowfin fossil invalidates Darwinists’ claims and proves that evolution never, ever happened.
Sea Spider
Period: Cretaceous
Age: 95 million years
Region: Lebanon
Sea spiders (Pantopoda) are a class from the arthropod phylum. They are mainly found in the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, Antarctica and the Arctic, though they can be seen everywhere in the world. There are some 1,000 species of sea spider, which can live at depths of up to 7,000 meters (23,000 feet). The long legs emerging from the sea spider’s body are its main distinguishing feature. The 95-million-year-old Cretaceous Period sea spider fossil shown pictured shows, in the clearest way, that this life form never evolved.
Coelacanth
 |
Period: Permian
Age: 290-248 million years
Region: Madagascar
The theory of evolution is not a truth backed up by scientific evidence, but a superstitious belief adopted in the absence of any evidence at all. Evolutionists fabricate brand new scenarios for the sake of imposing the theory on others, and use the media to try and convince people that these scenarios are true. However the scientific evidence demolishes these carefully invested evolutionist scenarios on every occasion because these claims are all false and imaginary. For example, evolutionists made the most outrageous claims on the basis of coelacanth fossils. But then an unexpected event literally stunned evolutionists.
In 1938, a living member of the species Latimeria from the coelacanth family, described as “a transitional form that became extinct 70 million years in the past,” was caught in the open waters of the Indian Ocean. This event nicely served to expose the evolutionist fraud. The coelacanth fossil in the picture, which dates back 290 to 249 million years, has not changed in the least since the day the animal was first created. In addition, between 1952 and 1953, more than 200 other living coelacanths were caught in other regions, particularly in the Comorra Islands. In this way, the scenario of the coelacanth, which evolutionists had sought to depict as an intermediate form, was consigned to the waste basket.
The discovery of a living coelacanth, which Darwinists had for years tried to use as evidence of evolution, stunned the evolutionists. Moreover, examination of the species, which had been thought to have vanished from the face of the Earth at least 70 million years ago, showed that coelacanths have not changed over the course of 400 million years.
Bristlemouth (Gonostomatidae)
The deep sea bristlemouth has never changed in the fossil record.
The fact that these fish possessed exceedingly complex systems allowing them to produce light millions of years ago is something that evolutionists cannot explain.
Period: Oligocene
Age: 37-23 million years
Region: Poland
These are small fish that live in the depths of the oceans and possess light-emitting organs in their bodies. These light-emitting organs are generally in their abdominal regions. The light they emit to illuminate their deep and dark surroundings also serves to warn off predators.
The picture shows a fossil specimen of this life form dating back to the Oligocene Period, 37-23 million years ago. There is no difference between this fossil and a living specimen. No matter how much evolutionists try to keep materialism and evolution propped up, all the living fossils in the universe point to creation and the Lord of that universe. Allah created all the universe and all the living things in it from nothing, and gave rise to the Earth and sky. Our Lord Allah is infinitely mightier than everything people try to portray as equal to Him.
Cod (Bregmaceros)
Period: Pliocene
Age: 5.3-1.8 million years
Region: Marecchio River Formation, Italy
D. S. Woodroff from the University of California expresses the evolutionists’ disappointment at the absence of even a single transitional form in Sciencemagazine:
“But fossil species remain unchanged throughout most of their history and the record fails to contain a single example of a significant transition.”(D.S. Woodroff, Science, Vol. 208, 1980, p. 716)
This fossil shows there is no difference between cod fish living 5.3 to 1.8 million years ago and those alive today. It invalidates the evolutionists’ claims. As can be seen from this photograph, despite the passage of between 5.3 to 1.8 million years, this life form has all the same characteristics it did when it was first created. Not the slightest change has occurred in either its head, fins or tail. This fossil cod reveals in all clarity that evolution is an imaginary scenario.
Moon Coral
While there exists not one fossil record to show us that one life form is descended from another, the layers of the Earth are packed with evidence showing that living things have always had exactly the same features.
The reality demonstrated by the fossil record is plain to see: life forms have never changed since the moment they were first created, and corals have always existed as corals, and fish as fish.
Period: Devonian Period
Age: 350 million years
Region: Atlas Mountains, Morocco
Evolutionists have constantly had to issue apologies over the last 150 years; this is because every scenario they have proposed has collapsed under the weight of scientific evidence.
The 350-million -year-old Paleozoic Period moon coral in the picture proves that this life form has never changed, despite the intervening 350 million years. This 350-million-year-old moon coral is identical to a present-day moon coral and once again proves the fact of creation.
Observing that species remain astonishingly stable and unchanged over very long periods of time has forced the evolutionists into a tight corner. Paleontologists facing the reality of fossil records that have consistently and insistently refuted the myth of evolution proposed by Darwin were no longer in a position to conceal these facts. Every branch of science clearly shows us that life forms did not evolve, but were created in a single moment.
Herring
Period: Eocene
Age: 54 - 37 million years
Region: Green River Formation, Wyoming, USA
The fossil record refutes the theory of evolution in every way. The fossil herring in the picture is between 54 to 37 million years old. There is no difference between herrings that lived 54 to 37 million years ago and those living today. Examination of this 54 to 37-million-year-old fossil shows that its head, fins and tail have not altered in the least. The fact revealed by herring fossils is that life forms do not evolve, and that Almighty Allah created them all.
Sea Bass
Period: Eocene
Age: 50 million years
Region: Green River Formation, Wyoming, USA
The 50-million-year-old sea bass fossil in the picture once again reveals that the theory of evolution is nothing but nonsense. The animal’s general structure, fins and skeleton can clearly be seen in the fossil and have not changed over millions of years.
Millions of fossils show that Darwinists are not telling the truth when they say that life forms constantly change, progressing from the more primitive to the more advanced.
The wonderfully preserved details in the 50-million-year-old fossil below are most striking. As with hundreds of millions of other fossil specimens, this sea bass once again reveals that living things never change.
Moon Coral
Period: Devonian
Age: 350 million years
Region: Atlas Mountains, Morocco
Evolutionists have never tired of making new claims over the years, yet they had to subsequently retract these claims on each and every occasion. They sometimes elected to keep fossils deliberately hidden way, and sometimes they went for imaginary reconstructions. They published the transitional form fossils they drew using the power of their imaginations on the covers of various scientific magazines, but would later have to retract these in subsequent issues of the same publications because the fossil records unearthed subsequently demolished the evolutionists’ claims, one after the other.
The 350-million-year-old moon coral in the picture has never changed since the day it was first created. Just like millions of others, this fossil proves that Darwinism is merely a perverse ideology that has nothing at all to do with science.
Sea horse
Period: Pliocene
Age: 3 million years
Region: Marecchio River Formation, Italy
Sea horses are very striking with their external appearance and special structures. They vary between 4 and 30 cm (1.5 to 12 inches) in length and generally live among seaweeds and other plants along coastal strips. Their protective armor keeps these animals safe from danger. That armor is so strong that it is almost impossible to break a dead sea horse with one’s bare hands. The three-million-year-old sea horse in the picture says that “life forms do not evolve,” and that Allah creates them all.
Atlantic Argentine (Argentinidae)
Period: Oligocene
Age: 35 million years
Region: Poland
Atlantic argentines from the family Argentinidae are fish that live in the depths of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. They are approximately 45 cm (1.5 feet) long and live at depths of 145 to 545 meters (475 to 1,800 feet). The great variety in the fossil record, from the smallest terrestrial and marine organisms to the largest, and life forms from the period being preserved literally as if in a photograph, has led to the utter collapse of the theory of evolution.
The 35-million-year-old Atlantic argentine in the picture shows that these fish have always remained the same, despite the passage of millions of years.
Flashlight Fish
Period: Cretaceous
Age: 95 million years
Region: Lebanon
Flashlight fish from the family Anomalopidae live in tropical waters. This species takes its name from the bioluminescence organ in its body. Light-emitting bacteria live in an area beneath the fish’s eyes. The fish uses this light to flee from predators, as well as for hunting and communicating with other fish.
All the details in this 95-million-year-old fish fossil have been preserved. The presence of such a complex system in a life form existing 95 million years ago is an insoluble dilemma for evolutionists, who put forward the scenario that animals develop gradually from the primitive to the more advanced.
These complex structures in the bodies of living things show that life forms came into being, not through evolution, but through Allah’s wondrous creative artistry.
Guitarfish (Rhinobatuss)
The guitarfish is just one example of life forms that have not changed over tens of millions of years. Millions of fossils preserved with all their details show that evolution is a base deception and creation the truth, and tell us that the perfection in the universe cannot have come about by chance.
By Allah’s leave, the 21st century will be when the Darwinist deception is definitively defeated.
Period: Cretaceous
Age: 95 million years
Region: Lebanon
Like present-day specimens, guitarfish living 95 million years ago had long, thin tails, small fins protruding from their bodies, and a conical head tapering to a point.
So many animals have been fossilized with their unique characteristics that scientists examining the fossil record have had to accept that the theory of evolution has been consigned to the pages of history. Fossils, the remains of Allah's sublime creation, expose evolutionists’ lies in a more powerful manner with every passing day.
Dwarf Sawfish (Pristis clavata)
Period: Cretaceous
Age: 95 million years
Region: Lebanon
Dwarf sawfish can be encountered in all the warm seas of the world. They generally live in shallow waters and sometimes travel to the upper reaches of rivers. The young enter the world together with their saws; but they do not harm the mother because they are sheathed in a membrane during birth. Sawfish use these organs as a defensive weapon, and also use them for hunting by waving them to the right and left when they enter among shoals of fish. They also use their saws to dig about in the muddy sea bed.
There is no difference between the sawfish in a 95-million-year-old fossil and a sawfish living today. The long, saw-like nose, its pronounced skull shape and the broad fins on the sides of its body can all be made out clearly. Sawfish, which have remained unchanged for millions of years, once again reveal the extent to which the evolutionists are in error.
The 95-million-year-old Cretaceous period sawfish fossil in the picture is an example of a living fossil. This fossil, with characteristics identical to those of sawfish living today, is just one of the millions of fossils that prove creation.
Eel
Period: Cretaceous
Age: 95 million years
Region: Lebanon
Fossils from the same species exhibit no changes throughout the time they appear in the fossil record. That fact was well-known to paleontologists even before Darwin published his Origin of Species. Darwin prophesied that subsequent generations would find new fossils to fill the gaps; but following all the paleontological research that has taken place over the last 120 years or so, it has become clear the fossil record will not confirm that prediction.
Despite the passage of 95 million years, the eel in the picture has not altered in the slightest. It has never evolved or turned into any other life form.
Crab
Crabs generally have a thick outer skeleton and a pair of claws. The claws that are typical features of crabs appear in exactly the same form in this 23 to 5-million-year-old fossil.
Crabs are life forms that appeared suddenly millions of years ago with the same features they possess today. All the crab fossils discovered have entirely crab-like characteristics. No fossils with missing organs or half-crab, half-other life forms have ever been found. Crabs have always been crabs in all periods of history. The stasis in living things is one of the main proofs refuting the theory of evolution.
Period: Eocene
Age: 23 - 5 million years
Region: Wiapara, New Zealand
With the claws on the front of its body and thick outer shell, the 23 to 5-million-year-old fossil crab in the picture proves that the animal has not changed despite the passage of millions of years. Evolutionists have no scientific answer in the face of these facts. The theory of evolution has completely collapsed in the face of fossils that prove creation.
Pipefish
Period: Miocene
Age: 23 - 5 million years
Region: California, USA
Pipefish are a species of boned fish from the family Syngnathidae, and have a long, thin tail. This fish lives in the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean and is approximately 20 cm (8 inches) long. There are no scales on its body. There are no fins on its chest or abdomen. They live among oyster-like crustaceans or in the digestive cavities of sea cucumbers.
The fish’s long, tubular mouth, long, thin body and long tail can all be made out very clearly in this 23 to 5-million-year-old fossil. The fish’s skeletal structure has even been completely preserved, despite the intervening millions of years. The 23 to 5-million-year-old fossil pipefish in the picture proves that this life form has existed as a pipefish since the day it was first created and has never evolved into any other living entity.
Boxfish
There is absolutely no difference between this 95-million-year fossil and the living boxfish shown beside it. This shows that evolutionists’ claims are a deception, and that creation is a fact.
Period: Cretaceous
Age: 95 million years
Region: Haqel, Lebanon
The boxfish’s different anatomical structure makes it highly maneuverable. Scientists were struck by the way that it manages to turn sudden turbulence which occasionally occur under the sea to its own advantage. Researchers produced computerized models of the boxfish. And the resulting findings were a source of inspiration in the manufacture of submarine robots. (http://news.sciencemag.org/sciencenow/2003/01/23-02.html)
The fact that this tiny fish is equipped with engineering principles that make it a marvelous swimmer is an expression of the glory of Allah's creation. This once again shows that the creation of Almighty Allah, Lord of the Worlds, is flawless, and every new life form investigated reveals that perfection once again.
This life form has never changed or evolved, despite the passage of 95 million years. Allah is He Who best knows His creations:
The seven heavens and the earth and everyone in them glorify Him. There is nothing which does not glorify Him with praise but you do not understand their glorification... (Qur’an, 17:44)
Ladyfish
Period: Cretaceous
Age: 9 5 million years
Region: Haqel, Lebanon
The fossil of this living thing proves, like the fossils of other life forms on Earth, the invalidity of the theory of evolution.
The fact that ladyfish that lived 95million years in the past are identical to ladyfish living today is something that evolutionists can never explain. Fossils once again reveal that Allah creates all living things.
LIVING FOSSILS
Insect fossil specimens -1
Mantis
Period: Cretaceous
Age: 100 million years
Region: Burma
There are 2,340 known species of these insects from the order Mantodea. The majority live in tropical and subtropical regions. Depending on the species, they camouflage themselves as either green or dry leaves, brightly colored flowers, thin branches or lichens. Mantises are the only known species of insect able to turn their heads from side to side.
Brown Lacewing
Period: Cretaceous
Age: 100 million years
Region: Burma
The brown lacewing belongs to the family Chrysopidae, from the order Neuroptera. This life form is widely seen in North America and Europe, and has survived for hundreds of millions of years completely unchanged. Evolutionists claim that life forms gradually turn into other life forms through a series of gradual changes. But, as can be seen from this example, life forms have never changed since the moment they were first created.
Caddisfly
Period: Cretaceous
Age: 100 million years
Region: Burma
Caddisflies belong to the order Trichoptera and their larvae are frequently used as bait by fishermen. This life form has never changed over 100 million years. The stasis in the fossil record, which Darwinists try to ignore, is once again confirmed in this fossil. This 100-million-year-old caddisfly never changed. It came into being, meaning it was created, in a single moment, and had the same features 100 million years ago as it does today.
Winged Ant
Period: Oligocene
Age: 25 million years
Region: Dominican Republic
The picture shows a winged ant that lived 25 million years ago. There are some 20,000 known species of ant. Winged ants have two antennae on the top their hard heads for communication. They have powerful jaws on the lower part of their heads, with sharp mandibles they use to cut plant leaves. The ant’s neck and waist, through which many of its organs pass, are very narrow. It has three pairs of legs on its thorax, but none on its abdomen. Ants are found everywhere in the world and have preserved all these characteristics unchanged for millions of years. The winged ant fossil in the picture was preserved exactly as it was when the ant was covered in amber that poured over it. This fossil proves that, like all other life forms, winged ants have never changed, in other words, they have never evolved.
Spider Mite (Acarina)
Period: Cretaceous
Age: 100 million years
Region: Burma
All the fossils unearthed clearly reveal that life forms did not gradually develop from one another, and that they never evolved. The fossil record reveals not one single example of a transitional form. This 100-million-year-old spider mite preserved in amber is just one of more than 350 million unchanged fossils and shows that Allah created it.
False Click Beetle (Eucnemidae)
Period: Oligocene
Age: 25 million years
Region: Dominican Republic
These insects, members of the family Eucnemidae, resemble true click beetles, but are distinguished from them by various anatomical differences. Like true click beetles, false click beetles are able to leap into the air, although a small group belonging to the species lack this ability.
It is of vital importance for beetles to be able to right themselves when they are turned over on their backs. This is when the click beetle’s ability to leap into the air comes into play. When click beetles are turned over on their backs, they right themselves by leaping up thanks to a special organ in their thorax.
Like all other living things, beetles never evolved, but were created by Allah with all the attributes they possess today. The false click beetle in the picture is one piece of evidence proving the fact of creation.
Leafhopper
Period: Cretaceous
Age: 100 million years
Region: Burma
Leafhoppers are perhaps best known for the damage they do to corn crops. They seldom exceed 1 cm (0.39 inches) in size, and are the same today as they were 100 million years ago. The 100-million-year-old fossil leafhopper shown above is proof that these living things have never changed.
Humpbacked Fly, Wasp
Period: Cretaceous
Age: 100 million years
Region: Burma
If, as Darwinists maintain, living things were descended from a supposed common ancestor, then these 100-million-year humpbacked fly and wasp fossils preserved in amber should be very different to specimens living today. But, as the fossil shows, there is no difference between them at all. Paleontology refutes all the baseless evolutionist claims by proving that these life forms have come down to the present day unchanged.
Mymarid Wasp (Mymaridae)
Period: Cretaceous
Age: 100 million years
Region: Burma
This 100-million-year-old mymarid wasp had the same anatomy as those living today. Allah created these animals in a flawless manner, and it has never since evolved or changed in any way.
Skin Beetle
Period: Cretaceous
Age: 100 million years
Region: Burma
Allah has created ever more glorious systems in all living things. These systems have never changed since those life forms were first created. The 100-million-year-old skin beetle fossil in the picture is identical to skin beetles living today. Paleontology has proved without doubt that life forms do not change in any way.
Grasshopper
Period: Oligocene
Age: 25 million years
Region: Dominican Republic
Had evolution really taken place, which it never did, then life forms should appear with gradual changes and continue to alter over time. Yet the fossil record shows the exact opposite. The 25-million-year-old cricket in this fossil has been preserved in all its detail and is exactly the same as crickets alive today.
Dance Fly
Period: Cretaceous
Age: 100 million years
Region: Burma
Dance flies can perform very rapid and acrobatic movements as they fly, and have come down to the present day unchanged since the moment they were first created. All life forms appear suddenly in the fossil record, and have remained static and unaltered for hundreds of millions of years. This is the most important proof that evolution never happened. This 100-million-year-old fossil dance fly preserved in amber is one of the proofs of Allah’s magnificent creation.
Springtail
Period: Eocene
Age: 50 million years
Region: Poland
The stasis in the fossil record represents the greatest problem for the evolutionists because they seek the evidence they need for their fictitious evolutionary process in the fossil record, but to date no such evidence has ever been found. This 50-million-year-old springtail fossil is one example that doubtlessly inflicts a terrible disappointment on evolutionists and confirms creation.
Cockroach
Period: Cretaceous
Age: 100 million years
Region: Burma
The fact that cockroaches, known for their ability to withstand even the most difficult conditions, have survived down to the present day unchanged over the last 100 million years is one of the proofs of the falsity of the theory of evolution. These animals, found almost everywhere in the world, are exactly the same now as they were 100 million years in the past.
True Bug
Period: Cretaceous
Age: 125 million years
Region: Santana Formation, Araripe Basin, Brazil
Insects have remained as insects, spiders as spiders, fish as fish and birds as birds ever since the moment they were first created. The intervening millions of years have not led to any changes in life forms. Just like other life forms, this insect from the order Heteroptera has been created in a flawless manner. This 125-million-year-old fossil is just one of the many proofs that refute evolution.
Cockroach
Period: Jurassic
Age: 160 million years
Region: Yixian Formation, Liaoning, China
Cockroaches can be found almost everywhere on Earth, apart from the polar regions and at altitudes greater than 2,000 meters (6,500 feet). These animals are highly resistant, and are even able to withstand radiation. Evolutionists claim that they acquired these characteristics through minute, gradual changes. But cockroaches living 160 million years in the past were exactly the same as those living today. Allah created all living things as they are today, and living things never underwent evolution.
Sow Bug (Isopod)
Period: Oligocene
Age: 25 million years
Region: Dominican Republic
These insects, which roll up into a ball when touched, can be found in a great many parts of the world. The 25-million-year-old sow bug fossilized in amber shown on the overleaf has exactly the same features as sow bugs living today. Life forms have never changed. Omniscient Allah created them.
Spider
Period: Jurassic
Age: 160 million years
Region: Sihetou Formation, Liaoning, China
The spiders that live just about everywhere on Earth are arthropods. They weave amazing webs with a special silk, and were created with the same perfect characteristics they possess today. The fossil in the picture clearly shows that spiders living 160 million years in the past are the same as those living today, and that they never evolved.
Dustywing
Period: Eocene
Age: 50 million years
Region: Poland
Darwinists say that all living species have a supposed common ancestor. However the facts revealed by paleontology show that species appeared suddenly, millions of years ago, exactly the same as they are today. The 50-million-year-old fossil dustywing in the picture is one of the proofs that refute evolution. Dustywings have the same features today as they did 50 million years in the past.
Aphid
Period: Eocene
Age: 50 million years
Region: Poland
Aphids belong to the order Psocoptera. The 50-million-year-old fossil illustrated proves that aphids have always existed in the same form, that they never evolved and that they are not descended from a primitive ancestor. So long as the evolutionists insist on ignoring this reality, they will continue to look for non-existent transitional forms, to deceive people with hoaxes and spend their lives chasing an empty dream. However, none of these efforts will alter the fact that living things are the work of Almighty Allah, and more and more people every day will cease believing in the myths of Darwinism.
Lynx Spider
Period: Eocene
Age: 50 million years
Region: Poland
No species living in the world has ever changed or evolved. Neither bird, nor fish, nor terrestrial animal nor plant nor insect species have ever changed. The transitional forms that evolutionists claim must exist have never been found in the fossil record. The fossil Lynx spider in the picture is identical to Lynx spiders living today. This is one of the major blows dealt to evolution.
Springtail
Period: Eocene
Age: 50 million years
Region: Poland
The fact that this life form was identical 50 million years ago to how it is today is genuine evidence that evolution never took place. Fossils provide the clearest and most accurate information on this subject. Springtails have never altered, despite the passage of 50 million years, and this demolishes Darwinists’ claims.
Whitefly
Period: Eocene
Age: 50 million years
Region: Poland
Whiteflies rarely exceed 2 mm (0.079 inches) in length, and at first sight the adult form resembles a small butterfly. Whiteflies are not actually flies at all, though their resemblance to them gives them their name. This life form is particularly known for the damage it does to orange trees. The fact that this tiny creature has come down to the present day unchanged over the course of 50 million years is proof that it never evolved.
Spider
Period: Oligocene
Age: 25 million years
Region: Poland
Spiders are one of the most numerous groups in the animal kingdom and possess many miraculous properties. One of these properties is the knowledge of geometry inspired in them by Allah and the architectural marvels, their webs, which they construct using that knowledge. This 25-million-year-old spider fossil is identical to spiders living today, and this proves this life form was created in a moment with all its characteristics and that it has never changed.
LIVING FOSSILS
Midge
Period: Eocene
Age: 50 million years
Region: Poland
Like all other living things, various species of fly appear suddenly in the fossil record, and with all their unique characteristics and they have come down to the present day completely unaltered. The 50-million-year-old fossil midge preserved in amber shows that there is no difference between midges that lived millions of years ago and those living today. This once again reveals that evolution never happened and that creation is an obvious reality.
Wasp
Period: Cretaceous
Age: 125 million years
Region: Santana Formation, Araripe Basin, Brazil
Just this fossil alone puts an end to 150 years of evolutionist claims. This 125-million-year-old wasp fossil was created in a moment with exactly the same perfect and superior features as members of the species alive today. Life forms did not come about through the fictitious processes of the theory of evolution. Allah created all the living things on Earth that have ever been.
Snakefly
Period: Cretaceous
Age: 125 million years
Region: Santana Formation, Araripe Basin, Brazil
There are estimated to be around 150 species of snakefly. These are one of the proofs that all life forms appeared suddenly and have survived down to the present day unchanged. This 125-million-year-old fossil snakefly has exactly the appearance and wonderful characteristics as snakeflies living today.
Whip Scorpion
Period: Cretaceous
Age: 125 million years
Region: Santana Formation, Araripe Basin, Brazil
Whip scorpions are not poisonous but when they feel threatened they can squirt a mixture of acetic acid and octanoic acid from glands in the back of their abdomens further than 80 cm (over 2.5 feet). This substance serves as a weapon to deter enemies. Whip scorpions that possess the same features 125 million years ago as those living today are one of the proofs that refute evolution.
Waterbug (Gyrinidae)
Period: Cretaceous
Age: 125 million years
Region: Santana Formation, Araripe Basin, Brazil
The majority of these insects from the family Gyrinidae live in fresh water. So long as they are not disturbed, these insects live in large groups on the surface of the water, but when alarmed they quickly dive down and swim beneath it. Like all other living species, these animals were created with all their unique properties. There is no difference between the 125-million-year-old fossil waterbug in the picture and specimens living today. Allah is the Creator of all living things.
Water Strider
Period: Cretaceous
Age: 125 million years
Region: Santana Formation, Araripe Basin, Brazil
The changes that evolutionists maintain took place never happened at any period of history. All life forms were created in a moment and fully developed. These insects, which are able to run on water, were created with the same properties 125 million years ago as they possess today.
Long Legged Fly
Period: Cretaceous
Age: 125 million years
Region: Santana Formation, Araripe Basin, Brazil
There are several fossil specimens of long legged flies, a commonly encountered insect. The fossils show that these creatures possessed the same anatomical structure 125 million years ago as they do today. Life forms did not evolve. Almighty Allah created them all.
A Beetle from the Order Coleoptera
Period: Cretaceous
Age: 125 million years
Region: Santana Formation, Araripe Basin, Brazil
Coleoptera, or beetles, represent the most numerous class of insects. All the Coleoptera fossils seen to date are identical to those living today. In the same way that no living species that has ever lived has changed in any way, the Coleoptera have also come down to the present day just as they were first created.
Cockroach
Period: Cretaceous
Age: 125 million years
Region: Santana Formation, Araripe Basin, Brazil
Cockroaches are one life form that have remained utterly unchanged for hundreds of millions of years. Fossil cockroaches have been found dating back some 320 million years. These insects, which constitute the order Blattodea, have never changed during the course of history. The 125-million-year-old fossil cockroach in the picture is one of the proofs that these living things were created, just like all other life forms.
Ground Cricket
Period: Cretaceous
Age: 125 million years
Region: Santana Formation, Araripe Basin, Brazil
The great majority of crickets, part of the family Tettigoniidae, live in tropical regions. There are more than 225 species in North America alone. Ground crickets have remained the same, unaltered, for millions of years. The 125-million-year-old ground cricket fossil in the picture is another significant confirmation of this fact.
Coleoptera
Period: Cretaceous
Age: 125 million years
Region: Santana Formation, Araripe Basin, Brazil
A look at the 125-million-year-old beetle fossil in the picture and a specimen living today shows that these animals have not altered in the slightest, right down to the details in the opening of their wings. The discovery of fossil remains of insects that have never changed over the course of millions of years has come as a heavy blow to the theory of evolution. There is no difference between a cockroach or a dragonfly that lived 400 million years ago and specimens living today. Insects’ eyes, defensive techniques and very different flight systems invalidate all the evolutionists’ claims.
Lacewing (Chrysopa)
Period: Cretaceous
Age: 125 million years
Region: Santana Formation, Araripe Basin, Brazil
This delicate life form belongs to the family Chrysopidae, from the order Neuroptera. These animals are found in North America and Europe and are able to detect the ultrasounds emitted by bats. When they detect the ultrasounds used by bats in order to locate them, they fold their wings up and fall to the ground, thus escaping the bat. Living things with this ability were created with the same features millions of years ago as they possess today.
Darkling Beetle (Tenebrionidae)
Period: Cretaceous
Age: 100 million years
Region: Burma
The fossil record has proved that, like other life forms, darkling beetles never underwent any process of evolution. As can be seen from the fossil in the picture, this 100-million-year-old darkling beetle is identical in appearance and structure to darkling beetles alive today. Almighty Allah created all life forms together with all their characteristics, and fossil findings confirm that fact.
Spider Mite (Acarina)
Period: Cretaceous
Age: 100 million years
Region: Burma
The 100-million-year-old spider mite fossils in the picture are almost too small to be seen with the naked eye. They are smaller than the head of a pin. The way that these life forms appear suddenly in the fossil record, with no supposed evolutionary ancestors, the way they possess exceedingly complex systems and, most important of all, their great diversity, all give rise to questions that it is impossible for the theory of evolution to answer. Evolutionists are unable to conceal their helplessness in the face of these details revealed by microbiology and entomology. All life forms appear suddenly in the fossil record, without undergoing any changes. And this is proof that Allah creates living things.
Flat Bark Beetle
Period: Cretaceous
Age: 100 million years
Region: Burma
Insects represent 90% of the animals described to date. They have left a great many fossils preserved in amber from millions of years ago to the present day. The 100-million-year-old flat bark beetle fossil in the picture is one of these. There is no difference between the flat bark beetle in the fossil and beetles alive today. The picture in the fossil is just one example of the more than 350 million fossils that refute Darwinists’ claims.
Bee (Hymenopteran)
Period: Eocene
Age: 50 million years
Region: Poland
This 50-million-year-old fossil bee, which can be seen down to the finest detail under a microscope, possesses the same perfect characteristics as bees living today. Its marvelous compound eyes have also been preserved in full detail in the amber.
Bees have very specialized eyes. They contain special sections known as “ommatidia,” 6,900 of which perform separate sight functions. Each one of these acts like a single eye. These are arranged rather like drinking straws in a box. In addition, each one ends in a small convex and transparent lens. (Mark L. Winston, The Biology of the Honey Bee, Harvard Univ. Press, 1991, p. 1) These lenses form the outer surface of the eye, rather like a glass ellipse. The bee eye is superior to the human eye in two ways: the bee eye can distinguish ultraviolet rays and it is highly sensitive to polarized light. Bees, with their glorious eyes that have remained unchanged for millions of years, refute evolution. (Encyc. Americana, 1993, USA, Vol.3, Int. Headquarters, Danbury, Connecticut, p. 439)
Spittlebug
Period: Eocene
Age: 50 million years
Region: Poland
Spittlebugs, members of the family Cercopidae, are known for the foam they produce during the larval stage.
The larvae manufacture a foam-like substance using the sap of the leaves they live on and cocoon themselves with it. This foam, or ‘spit,’ benefits the larvae in a number of ways, and protects them from predators, parasites and the effects of excessive hot and cold. The foam also prevents the larvae from drying out by providing a constantly moist environment.
Adult spittlebugs jump from one plant to another and can leap up to 100 times their own body length.
As with all living things, beetles have different and incomparable ways of protecting themselves, finding food and reproducing. That is Allah’s creation in line with every living thing’s needs. No insect ever acquired the characteristics it has by experimenting with different stages and adapting its own biological structure. It would have neither the intelligence or power to do so. The 50-million-year-old spittlebug in the picture had the same features as spittlebugs alive today. Indeed, the spittlebug can clearly be seen to have been fossilized in amber together with its surrounding foam.
This larval-stage spittlebug was fossilized in amber with its surrounding foam and has come down to the present day in a state of perfect preservation. (below)
 Pseudoscorpion
Period: Cretaceous
Age: 100 million years
Region: Burma
These insects are known as pseudoscorpions because their claws resemble those of true scorpions. Despite their small size, they can still sometimes be seen with the naked eye.
Allah has created many details and characteristics in this tiny creature. Just as there are no deficiencies, pathologies or abnormal structures in another life form on Earth, there are also none in this 100-million-year-old fossil pseudoscorpion. The insect’s every organ is perfectly proportioned and symmetrical. Such symmetry and perfection can never come about by chance. The glorious symmetry and proportion in all living things is Almighty Allah’s creation.
Cephalotes Ant
Period: Miocene
Age: 20 million years
Region: Dominican Republic
What we see when we examine natural history is not that life forms “evolve into different anatomical structures,” but that they remain unchanged for hundreds of millions of years. This permanence in the fossil record is referred to as “stasis” by scientists. Living fossils and living things that have survived to the present day, but have left behind fossil remains from different periods of prehistory, are concrete evidence of the stasis in the fossil record. And this stasis in the fossil record showed there was never any process of gradual evolution.
This fossilized and literally armored ant is identical to those that lived 20 million years ago. The ant has never undergone any change in its physical structure, and never evolved.
Scelionid Wasp (Scelionidae)
Period: Eocene
Age: 50 million years
Region: Poland
Large or small, all living things possess rather superior characteristics and wide-ranging forms of behavior. This clearly shows that living things cannot come into being by chance, and that they are specially inspired and created entities. It is Allah Who brings all things into being from nothing, Who creates the separately functioning systems in every one of their cells and Who inspires their ways of behavior based on a most superior intelligence. These characteristics were coded into wasps created 50 million years ago and, just like hundreds of millions of other life forms, they have never changed and never evolved.
Ladybug
Period: Miocene
Age: 25 - 17 million years
Region: Dominican Republic
Ladybugs are attractive insects, generally yellow, orange or red in color, and are very well-known to everyone.
The wings of these coleoptera, or winged insects, are actually underneath visible red-colored sheathes. When the insect wishes to fly, it first opens up its outer wings and then, with great care, opens up the membrane-like wings underneath. The folded wings inside quickly become tense and flexible. These wings are unexpectedly large for the size of the insect, but they are so carefully folded and installed in their sheaths that the insect is able to expertly unfold them and fly away. It then folds them up again and packs them away under their red covers.
Allah shows us the greatness and matchless nature of His artistry in these living things. They have been doing things we cannot do for many millions of years. They behaved in the way inspired in them by Allah. The stasis we can observe in the fossilized living things is one of the greatest proofs that evolution never happened. Just as with this 25-million-year fossil ladybug...
Spider
Period: Cretaceous
Age: 125 million years
Region: China
There are around 30,000 species of spider, living just about all over the world. These employ a variety of hunting techniques. Not all spiders use fixed webs to catch their prey. Some chase after their prey or leap onto it. The picture shows a 125-million-year-old fossil spider. Like all life forms, spiders have remained unchanged despite the passage of tens of millions of years.
Lightning Bug 
Period: Eocene
Age: 50 million years
Region: Russia
This 50-million-year-old fossil is proof of a most important truth. Life forms have had immaculate anatomies ever since they were first created. Close inspection of the fossil shows that all its organs are perfectly formed and in the right place. The compound eye in particular can be seen down to the finest detail. Eyes that were able to see perfectly 50 million years ago exhibit a flawless structure.
We have no modern technology or knowledge capable of installing thousands of lenses in a space the size of a few millimeters and of giving each lens the ability to see. It is impossible for us to build a nervous system allowing these to perceive light and produce a flawless image from it. The idea that such an immaculate structure, which is beyond human beings’ ability to construct even with all our accumulated knowledge and experience, being formed by chance is, of course, totally lacking in any credibility.
Darwinists’ nonsensical ideas regarding chance and their hypotheses devoid of any evidence collapsed with the appearance of wonderful fossils of living things.
Chance could never produce a single one of the thousands of lenses possessed by this firefly, nor even a single protein in the innumerable cells that constitute these lenses. It is Almighty Allah Who sees and observes all beings at all times, Who creates every living things with flawless details, Who creates extraordinary equipment in a tiny insect and Who gives human beings the intelligence and conscience with which to reflect on these.
Mankind! An example has been made, so listen to it carefully. Those whom you call upon besides Allah are not even able to create a single fly, even if they were to join together to do it. And if a fly steals something from them, they cannot get it back. How feeble are both the seeker and the sought! (Qur’an, 22:73)
Mayfly Larva
Period: Cretaceous
Age: 125 million years
Region: China
Throughout history there have been no changes in the transitional stages in the development of living things. For example, mayflies went through the same processes of egg, larva and adulthood as they do today. This 125-million-year-old fossil mayfly refutes evolutionists’ claims that life forms went through various and gradual changes to assume their present forms.
Assassin Bug
Period: Cretaceous
Age: 100 million years
Region: Burma
These insects are members of the family Reduviidae from the order Hemiptera. These insects possess a matchless ability to protect themselves. It has been discovered that these insects make spider webs vibrate, and they then attack the owner of the web. The characteristics of the 100-million-year-old assassin bug shown preserved in Burmese amber are identical to those of present-day assassin bugs.
