Hundreds of plant species appear suddenly in the fossil record, with all their characteristics. And
this is a huge problem for evolutionists, one they can never account for. Indeed, this problem baff-
led Charles Darwin, the founder of the theory of evolution, who admitted:
“Nothing is more extraordinary in the history of the Vegetable Kingdom, as it seems to me, than the ap-
parently very sudden or abrupt development of the higher plants.” (Francis Darwin, The Life and Letters of
Charles Darwin, 1887, p. 248)
As can be seen from all these plant fossils, there is no difference in shape or structure between to-
day's plants and plants that lived millions of years ago.
