Twenty years ago, scientists discovered bacteria in a salt crystal. Now these supposed two-hundred-fifty-million-year-old bacteria were then “resurrected.” To their complete surprise, the scientists observed that bacteria’s DNA looked almost identical to bacteria today. Two-hundred-fifty-million years of … no evolution? And how could DNA survive that long anyway?
