STASIS IN THE FOSSIL RECORD
If evolution had really happened, then
living things should have emerged by
gradual changes, and have continued to
change over time, whereas the fossil
record shows the exact opposite. Different
groups of living things suddenly emerged
with no similar ancestors behind them,
and remained static for millions of years,
undergoing no changes at all.
A 100-150 million-year-old starfish fossil
Horseshoe crab"
fossil from the
Ordovician Age.
This 450-million-
year-old fossil is
no different
from specimens
living today.
Oyster fossils from the Ordovician Age, no
different from modern oysters.
1.9-million-year-old fossil
bacteria from Western Ontario
in the United States. They have
the same structures as bacteria
living today. Ammonites emerged some 350 million
years ago, and became extinct 65
million years ago. The structure seen in
the fossil above never changed during
the intervening 300 million years.
