Living fossils

by Joachim Scheven

It could hardly be more obvious that the shrimp shown on the left below (genus Penaeus) is essentially the same as the fossil shrimp (Antrimpos) shown on the right below. Yet according to evolutionary theory, they are separated by an alleged 150 million years.

Such ‘living fossils’ (there are hundreds and hundreds) show that there has been no evolution—and that these vast time-spans do not represent reality.
