SOAPBERRY LEAF
Age: 95 million years
Period: Cretaceous
Location: Haqel, Lebanon
No fossil unearthed to date shows that soapberry leaves ever underwent evolu-
tion. All soapberry fossils have exactly the same characteristics as those living
today. Evolutionists are unable to indicate any supposed evolutionary process
or any supposed common ancestor for any living thing, not only for soapber-
ries.
Fossil discoveries show that originally, all living species appeared suddenly on
Earth. In other words, they were created. The evolutionist Douglas Futuyma ad-
mits this evidence as demonstrated by the fossil record in these words:
"The majority of major groups appear suddenly in the rocks, with virtually no evi-
dence of transition from their ancestors. . . . Hence, the fossil record would be most
inadequate exactly where we need it most—at the origin of major new groups of or-
ganisms." (D. Futuyma, Science on Trial: The Case for Evolution, New York: Pantheon
Books, 1983, pp. 82-83)
