This twig of thuja fossil in amber, dating back
45 million years, challenges evolutionist claims
regarding the origins of plants.

One of the regions where many various species of plant fossils
have been obtained is the Cache Creek formation in Canada.
This formation still bears traces of the surrounding mountains
and the woods that existed in the region 50 million years ago.
The rivers and winds carried leaves, flowers and some small

living organisms to the lake and, sinking to the bottom there,
they started to fossilize.

Two-thirds of the fossils obtained from the site so far belong to
plants still alive today. Some, on the other hand, are the fossils
of very rare plants that have not yet been identified. This site
has a structure rich in silica, making it easier to obtain very
well-preserved specimens. Their details make it possible to
compare them comprehensively to those organisms' speci-
mens living today—which comparison again shows that liv-
ing things have been the same for tens of millions of years. In

other words, they have not evolved.
