Coelacanth
The Coelacanth (above) was thought to be an extinct creature, found only in the fossil record. Then such creatures began to be found – alive, and unchanged from the supposed 300 million year fossils. Such creatures are called “living fossils.” Secularists would have you believe that no evolution occurred in that time. (Amazing since humans supposedly departed from an ape-like ancestor on 2-3 million years ago.) Many people are unaware that there are “literally hundreds of different types of animals and plants which are alive and well and which are essentially unchanged from the way they appear as fossils.” [1]
Sue – Field’s Famous T-Rex
Above – Sue one of the Field Museum’s most popular visit. What happened to the dinosaurs? The popular (secular story) is that an asteroid struck earth about 65 million years ago and wiped out the dinosaurs. But is that true? Is there evidence of dinosaurs more recently? Take a SonLight tour and find out!
