DIOSPYROS

Age: 40 million years old

Location: France

Period: Eocene

According to Darwinists’ unscientific claims, date trees, pine trees, cacti, orchids, carna-

tions, roses, cherry trees, grasses, ferns—in short, all plants share the same imaginary
forebear. But when asked about the nature of this common forebear, or by what stages dif-
ferent plants diverged from one another and finally assumed their present forms, evolu-
tionists have no scientic response to give.

E. J. H. Corner, an evolutionist botanist from Cambridge University, admits that evolu-
tionists have no answers on the subject of the origin of plants:

The words of widely recognized evolutionist botanist E.J.H. Corner of Cambridge University
still ring true 40 years after he wrote them: “But I still think that, to the unprejudiced, the fos-
sil record of plants is in favour of special creation . . . Can you imagine how an orchid, a duck-
weed, and a palm have come from the same ancestry, and have we any evidence for this as-

sumption? The evolutionist must be prepared with an answer, but I think that most would
break down before an inquisition.” ( E.J.H. Corner, Prof of Botany, Cambridge University,
England, Evolution in Contemporary Botanical Thought, Chicago: Quadrangle Books, 1961, p. 97)

The level of science and technology of the 21 st century has made Corner’s concerns
more valid. Countless scientific findings, and the fossil record in particular, have placed
Darwinism in an insoluble dilemma—not in the field of botany alone, but in all branches
of science. In their intellectual death throes, Darwinists are trying to keep their theory
alive and to prepare for questions they may be faced with. Yet they still have not a single
scientific answer to give.
