These plants, which lived in the Eocene epoch, are among the countless findings that reveal that living beings have not evolved. Millions of fossils gathered for the past 150 years have ruined evolutionists" dreams. It is no longer possible for Darwinists to defend evolution based on the fossil record. This fact is also confessed by evolutionist paleontologist Mark Czarnecki: A major problem in proving the theory has been the fossil record; the imprints of vanished species preserved in the Earth"s geological formations. This record has never revealed traces of Darwin"s hypothetical intermediate variants - instead species appear and disappear abruptly, and this anomaly has fueled the creationist argument that each species was created by God. (Mark Czarnecki, ""The Revival of the Creationist Crusade,"" MacLean"s, 19 January 1981, p. 56.)
