WILLOW
Age: 54-37 million years
Period: Eocene
Location: Green River Formation, Uintah County, Utah, USA
Plant cells accomplish a process that no laboratory can: photosynthesis. In a plant's cell, organelles
called chloroplasts absorb sunlight and use it in conjunction with water and carbon dioxide gas to
produce starch.
This is the first link of the food chain and the food source for all living creatures on Earth. Details of
this very complex process are still not exactly understood, and it is impossible for evolutionary
mechanisms to explain this complexity.
The fossilized willow leaf pictured is 54 to 37 million years old. Willows that lived tens of millions of
years ago employed photosynthesis in the same way that they do today. They reproduced in the
same way and displayed the same features. This correspondence pushes evolutionists into a desper-
ate situation and once again stresses the fact that living organisms are created by God.
