SPRINGTAIL
Age: 50 million years
Period: Eocene
Location: Poland
The springtail fossil pictured was obtained from the Baltic amber beds in Poland.
Springtails are part of the order Collembola. Organisms belonging to this order
are generally smaller than 6 millimeters (0.2 in) in size, and have 6 or fewer feet
attached to their thorax. They also have additional spring-like organs attached
to their abdomens that enable them to leap out of harm's way in the event of
any attack by predators.
All of these characteristics possessed by these insects alive today, were also pos-
sessed by specimens alive 50 million years ago. This proves that evolution, which
maintains that living things are in a process of constant change and gradually develop
into other distinct species, does not reflect the true state of affairs. The fossil record re-
veals no changes or intermediate stages, but rather demonstrates that living things have
kept the same flawless characteristics ever since the moment they came into being; and
that these species never change so long as they remain in existence. The meaning of this is
obvious: Living things never evolved, but were created.
