ALDER LEAF
Age: 50 million years
Period: Eocene
Location: Cache Creek Formation, British Columbia, Canada
The point emerges that if we examine the fossil record in detail, whether at the level of orders or of species, we
find—over and over again—not gradual evolution, but the sudden explosion of one group at the expense of
another. (Derek V. Ager, " The Nature of the Fossil Record," Proceedings of the British Geological Association,
Vol. 87, 1976, p. 133.)
British paleontologist Derek V. Ager considers it a problem that fossils have never supported the theory
of evolution, but have confirmed the fact of Creation. The 50-million-year-old alder leaf fossil pictured
is one of the many fossils confirming that living organisms appeared all of a sudden on Earth. That is,
they were created, have remained unchanged and have never evolved from one form into another.
