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 unc-
hanged 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), de-
pending 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 crus-
taceans. A female cod lays around 200,000
eggs. As with fossil remains of other spe-
cies, this Atlantic cod fossil proves that
evolution never happened.
