SCALLOP

Age: 300 million years old
Period: Carboniferous

Location: Francis Creek Shale, Braidwood, Illinois, USA

There are an estimated 15,000 extinct species of oysters, traces of which can still be seen in
the fossil record, and some 11,000 species still alive today. The fossil pictured here, a member
of the family Pectinidae, shows that the mollusks in question have remained unaltered for

hundreds of millions of years.
Evolutionists are unable to account for this. In such cases, they prefer resorting to dema-
goguery, pretending not to understand the issue, and confusing the public with imaginary
tales. The fact is, however, that if they were to honestly evaluate the information revealed by

the scientific facts, they would see that the theory of evolution has collapsed under the
weight of evidence in the fossil record.
