Fossil beetle

A fossil beetle ... Cybister Explanatus

Dated to 2.6 million years ago (evolutionist dating).

This beetle could be regarded as a living fossil, as it is still living today, and is completely unchanged from its fossil form, i.e. it shows no sign of evolution after a couple of million years (evolutionist dating).

 

The adults of this species are edible and are eaten roasted and as a taco filling in Mexico.

The creation of intact fossils almost always requires rapid burial in a substantial depth of sediment. This has to take place before they can be damaged or destroyed by predation and/or decomposition. If you find a well preserved or intact fossil, it is most unlikely to have been buried gradually. Although that is the way it is often presented in descriptions of how fossils are formed.

This fossilised beetle is identical to beetles alive today. Which means it has not evolved at all in over 2 million, alleged years.

 

The life span of such a beetle would be very short. There would be many billions of generations of such beetles in even one million years. That no evolution at all has taken place throughout all the vast number of generations of beetles that there would have been in a million years, is a serious problem for evolutionists.

 

However, you may be surprised to learn that this is not exceptional, it is the general rule.

 

For example, other insects found in amber, which are claimed to be many millions of years old, are the same as insects alive today. An insect's life span is shorter than many other creatures, and the number of generations in a million years much greater. But in spite of this there is still no sign of any evolutionary change.

 

So-called living fossils, such as the Horseshoe Crab also remain un-evolved, some of them after an alleged hundred or more million years,

What many people don't know is ... that whenever a creature/plant alive today is found as a fossil, there is no major difference between the fossil version and the present one. In other words, no evidence of any evolutionary change.

There is no credible mechanism for progressive evolution.

 

Progressive, macro evolution is based on the ludicrous idea that random mutations (accidental, genetic, copying mistakes) selected by natural selection, can provide constructive, genetic information capable of creating entirely new features, structures, organs, and biological systems. Macro evolution is based on a belief in a complete progression from microbes to man through millions of random, genetic copying MISTAKES. There is no evidence for it whatsoever, it is unscientific nonsense which defies logic.

 

Micro-evolution is simply the small changes which take place, through natural selection or selective breeding, but only within the strict limits of the built-in variability of the existing gene pool. Any changes outside the extent of the existing gene pool requires a credible mechanism for the creation of new, constructive, genetic information, that is what is essential for macro evolution. Micro evolution does not involve or require the creation of any new, genetic information. So micro evolution and macro evolution are entirely different. There is no connection between them at all.

 

Macro evolution is the ridiculous idea that everything in the genome of humans and every living thing past and present (apart from the original genetic information in the very first living cell) is the result of genetic copying mistakes. mutations ... of mutations .... of mutations.... of mutations .... etc. etc.

 

In other words, Neo-Darwinism proposes that the complete genome (every scrap of genetic information in the DNA) of every living thing that has ever lived was created by a series ... of mistakes ... of mistakes .... of mistakes .... of mistakes etc. etc.

 

If we look at the whole picture we soon realise that what is actually being proposed by evolutionists is that, apart from the original information in the first living cell: every additional scrap of genetic information for all - features, structures, systems and processes that exist, or have ever existed in living things, such as:

skin, bones, bone joints, shells, flowers, leaves, wings, scales, muscles, fur, hair, teeth, claws, toe and finger nails, horns, beaks, nervous systems, blood, blood vessels, brains, lungs, hearts, digestive systems, vascular systems, liver, kidneys, pancreas, bowels, immune systems, senses, eyes, ears, sex organs, sexual reproduction, sperm, eggs, pollen, the process of metamorphosis, marsupial pouches, marsupial embryo migration, mammary glands, hormone production, melanin etc. .... have been created from scratch, by an incredibly long series of small, accumulated mistakes ... mistake - upon mistake - upon mistake - upon mistake - etc. etc.

 

If you believe that ... you will believe anything.

 

Conclusion: progressive, microbes-to-man is impossible - there is no credible mechanism to produce all the new, genetic information which is essential for that to take place.

The evolution story is a fairy tale.
