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 pre-
served 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.
