Chester A. Arnold was a professor of botany at the University of Michigan who rese-
arches fossil plants. In his book An Introduction to Paleobotany he says:
“As yet we have not been able to trace the phylogenetic history of a single group of mod-
ern plants from its beginning to the present.” (Chester A. Arnold, An Introduction to
Paleobotany, New York: Mc Graw-Hill, 1947, p. 7.)
As can be seen from statements by evolutionists, there is not a single piece of scienti-
fic evidence that plants appeared as a result of evolution. Plants appear suddenly in
the fossil record, with similar characteristics to those of present-day plants. And this
shows that, like other life forms, they were created.
