According to the evolutionary narrative, life supposedly began as single-celled creatures that slowly became multicellular animals and plants. Through time, these evolved into a plethora of marine invertebrates (animals without a backbone), such as trilobites and sea stars. Over many more millions of years, invertebrates evolved into the first vertebrates—the fish. From these came amphibians like frogs, and eventually, fully terrestri... More...
Paleontologists recently rediscovered the largest known set of vertebrae from the giant fossil shark Otodus megalodon, popularized by The Meg movies as a hungry, gigantic man-eating version of the great white shark.1,2 These fossils were lost until recently, where they were found in one of the collections at the Natural History Museum of Denmark. The substantial size of the vertebrae and their associated growth band... More...
According to evolutionary theory, fish went through a variety of forms until they evolved into the fish we see swimming today. Recently, what conventional scientists would ordinarily consider as a primitive fish was discovered in a fossil deposit in Cleveland.1 But the uniqueness of the fish has left them scratching their heads about its origins and its actual place in history.

When conventional scientists call a fossil an early step in animal evolution, the claim may rest more on a reading of the fossil than on the fossil itself. In a new study, sharper images revealed that what had been identified as animal trails were actually fossilized microbes.1
The study reexamined tiny fossils from Brazil’s Tamengo Formation. Earlier work had treated some marks on the fossils as burrows made by ... More...
A new species of what appears to be a fossil centipede was found in sediments that conventional scientists believe were deposited offshore.1 The problem for them is that the creature had legs for walking on dry land, leaving them to wonder why these animals evolved terrestrial-style “legs while still living underwater.”2
The new fossil, Waukartus muscularis, was found in Wisconsin’s ... More...
According to the fossil record, arthropods—in all their complexity—have always been arthropods.1,2 They belong to the phylum Arthropoda, the largest phylum in the animal kingdom.
The creation model states that if there was a worldwide flood, one would expect bottom-dwelling creatures like arthropods in the ocean to be catastrophically buried first.3 This is indeed the case with aquatic creatures ... More...
