JUNIPER LEAF



                     Age: 5-1.8 million years


                     Location: Sofia, Bulgaria


                     Period:  Pliocene

                     Since the early 20    th  century, the theory of evolution, con-
                     stantly depicted as a scientific reality by some circles, has
                     received a string of lethal blows—which, however, have

                     been carefully concealed from the public. Darwinists con-
                     stantly issue propaganda suggesting that nothing has changed, but they never mention the
                     countless fossils that serve as evidence of Creation and continue relating the same, familiar
                     tales. One of the most notable aspects of evolutionist propaganda is that they almost never
                     feel the need to back up their tales with any scientific findings. Phillip Johnson describes the
                     position:

                          There is no requirement that any of this speculation be confirmed either experimental or fossil evi-
                          dence. To Darwinists, just being able to imagine the process is sufficient to confirm that something

                          like that must have happened. (Phillip Johnson, Objection Sustained, p. 23)


                     On its own, in fact, this situation is proof of Darwinists’ despair. They are obliged to rely on
                     their own imaginations, because scientific data offer their theory no support. Countless fos-
                     sils, such as the juniper leaf illustrated, prove that evolution never took place. For that reason,
                     Darwinists prefer to seek refuge in speculation rather than seek to explain the evidence.
