The first person to admit that the scenario of plants" evolution was in a quagmire was Charles Darwin himself. As he wrote in an 1881 letter to botanist Sir Joseph Hooker of Kew Gardens:Nothing is more extraordinary in the history of the vegetable kingdom [according to the scientific classification], as it seems to me, than the apparently very sudden and abrupt development of the higher plants. These words are Darwin"s admission that the plants" origins could not be explained by evolution and that—like all other living organisms, plants were also created by God.
