Transcript
Evolutionists observe certain types of fossils in specific rock layers and assume when that creature disappears from the record, it went extinct. But they’ve been surprised by “living fossils”!
Take the coelacanth, a fish believed to have gone extinct with the dinosaurs. Then a scientist visiting a fish market recognized a dead fish from the fossils—not only was it not extinct, but it hadn’t evolved in sixty-five million years!
In fact, many fossil creatures are indistinguishable from their modern counterparts. Why? Because fossils aren’t a record of evolution—they’re a reminder of the global flood a few thousand years ago.
