A Living Fossil

“Living fossils” are creatures that look almost identical to their fossilized counterparts. Horseshoe crabs are a great example. Evolutionists believe they’ve been around for half a billion years—and yet they haven’t changed!

And horseshoe crabs aren’t “simple.” They have complex eyes with rods and cones, like our eyes. And they have five other eyes that detect ultraviolet light, letting them easily see moonlight reflected on the water.

How could such a complex system evolve so early in earth’s supposed history? And why would it stay the same for nearly half a billion years? Because it didn’t evolve! God created these crabs just six thousand years ago.
