SHRIMP

Age: 150 million years

Period: Jurassic

Location: Solnhofen Formation, Germany

One of those issues that make the supposed evolution of crustaceans impossible is the eye structure
in the lobster and shrimp. A great many life forms belonging to the class Crustacea have refractive-
type lens structures. Only two—the lobster and the shrimp—have a reflective mirrored eye.
According to the unscientific evolutionist hypothesis, all living things belonging to the Crustacea
must have evolved from a common forebear. If this claim were true, then it needs to be proved that

the reflective mirrored eye structure also evolved from the refractive type lens structure.

Yet such a transition is impossible, because both types function perfectly with their own entirely dif-
ferent systems, and there is no point in looking for any "intermediate" form.

For a crustacean to gradually lose the lens in its eyes and for mirrored surfaces to emerge where for-
merly there had been lenses would leave the invertebrate deprived of sight in the meantime, and it
could never survive.

In addition, no example of a semi-reflective and semi-refractive eye has ever been encountered in
any fossil of any other life form. Every fossil discovered to date had perfect eyes, systems and struc-
tures, just like the 150-million-year-old shrimp pictured here.
