Examining the fossil history and structural features of plants living on land, we come across facts that
are incompatible with what the theory of evolution asserts. Plants shown in almost all biology books
have no fossil records that verify the so-called evolutionary process. Most of today's species have left
very satisfactory remains in the fossil records, and none of these shows any features confirming a
transition from one species to the next. All are distinct species, created with their distinctive features in
their original forms, and have left no transitional connections, as claimed. As evolutionist
paleontologist E. C. Olson admits, the majority of plant groups emerged all of a sudden, leaving no
ancestors. (E. C. Olson, The Evolution of Life, New York: The New American Library, 1965, p. 9)
The 50-million-year-old sycamore leaf fossil in the picture also verifies this fact.
