GROUND CRICKET
Age: 125 million years
Period: Cretaceous
Location: Santana Formation, Brazil
The "lines of descent" among living things that frequently appear in evolutionist publications are no
more than an imaginary concept. No concrete finding of any evolutionary link between living
things has so far been discovered.
Scientists state that the fossil record and other findings indicate no such relationship:
"It is, however, very difficult to establish the precise lines of descent, termed phylogenies, for most organ-
isms." (F. J. Ayala and J. W. Valentine, Evolving: The Theory and Process of Organic Evolution, 1978, p. 230)
The 125-million-year-old ground cricket pictured here is not descended from any forerunner, and
has remained unchanged throughout the course of its species' existence.
