MILLIPEDE AND SPIDERS
Age: 45 million years
Period: Eocene
Location: Baltic States, Jantarny, Russia
Millipede
It can be seen that the 45-million-year-old millipede and two spiders in Baltic
amber are no different from their counterparts alive today.
Spiders of different species are able to set up various mechanical traps—underwater nests, lassos
made out of web, chemical poison sprays, jumping from very high places by holding a string of web
stronger than steel produced in their body, and camouflage. These arachnids can also make webs that
are architectural and engineering wonders. Their bodies contain combs that work like a textile fac-
tory, labs producing chemicals, organs secreting very strong digestive secretions, sensors detecting
the most sensitive vibrations, strong clamps that inject venom, and many other features evidencing
Creation.
When all these characteristics are considered, spiders alone are an important challenge to the theory
of evolution and once again refute the Darwinists' claim of coincidence.
