EEL
Age: 95 million years
Period: Cretaceous
Location: Lebanon
The fossil record shows that not just some, but all the fossil species that have been dis-
covered have remained unchanged throughout the course of their existence. This fact
was stated in the April 2003 of the magazine Focus, despite its being an evolutionist pub-
lication, which dealt with the subject of the coelacanth.
". . . the number of organisms which bear the closest of similarities to fossil specimens from
millions of years ago is actually quite large. For instance, the shellfish known as neopilina has
not changed for 500 million years, the scorpion for 430 million years, the limulus, an armored
sea creature with a sword-like tail, for 225 million years, and the tuatara, a reptile found only
in New Zealand, for 230 million years. Many arthropods, crocodiles, turtles and many species
of plant can also be added to the list."
One of those living things that have remained unchanged for millions of years is the eel
pictured here. Aged 95 million years, it is proof that living things do not change—in
other words, that they do not evolve.
