The Lily That Forgot To Evolve!

Last year, scientists announced the discovery of the world’s oldest lily. Now, the fossil was incredible—researchers could see the roots, flowers, and even individual cells.

But you know what they didn’t see? Evolution! Apparently, this lily forgot it was supposed to evolve!

It had all the features of modern lilies, such as narrow leaves, parallel veins, triple flowers, and a fibrinous root system. This supposedly one-hundred fifteen-million-year-old lily looked just like … well … a modern lily!

Of course, this lily didn’t forget it was supposed to be evolving. The lily kind was created by God at the beginning. Evolution’s just a story!
