MAGNOLIA LEAF

Age: 50 million years

Period: Eocene

Location: Cache Creek Formation, British Columbia, Canada
Fossil findings dramatize the invalidity of evolution, and some evolutionists do confess that
their theory is not verified by the fossil record. One of these is Dr. David Raup, curator of ge-
ology at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago. He confesses that fossils do not

support Darwinism:

. . . most people assume that fossils provide a very important part of the general argument in favour
of Darwinian interpretations of the history of life. Unfortunately, this is not true. (David Raup,
"Conflicts Between Darwin and Paleontology," Field Museum of Natural History Bulletin, Field
Museum of Natural History: Chicago IL, January 1979, Vol. 50, No. 1, pp. 22-29.)

One of the findings proving the error of assuming fossils to be evidence for Darwinism is the
50-million-year-old magnolia leaf pictured.
