Scorpion

Period: Cretaceous Period
Age: 125 million years

Region: Crato Formation, Araripe Basin,

Brazil

With their pincers, perfect structure and
steel-like armor and the poison in their
tails that can neutralize their enemies,

scorpions are created with enormous
detail.
Looking at the 125-million-year-old fossil in the picture, you can see that all these features are al-

ready fully formed in this scorpion. The shale of the pincers emerging from the side of its head, the
legs on the side of the body and the upward-pointing tail with its venom sac have all come down
to the present day completely unchanged. Allah has created highly detailed and flawless systems
in the scorpion body. For example, owing to its superior sensory system, the scorpion uses the vib-
rations emitted by its prey and Rayleigh waves to locate it. This system, which can be compared to
a highly equipped computer, is one of the proofs of Allah's matchless creative artistry. The fact that
these features were all fossilized 125 million years ago, and still exist in scorpions today, proves

that they never evolved.
