Living fossil is a term used by evolutionist scientists to describe plants and animals which were either considered extinct until living examples are found or which, though never considered extinct, are now the sole or rare examples of species known more abundantly from fossils. The coelacanth is considered to be an example of living fossil by evolutionists.
Examples of living fossils
This is a non-exhaustive list of living fossils.
Plants
- Araucaria araucana or Monkey-puzzle tree
- Cycads
- Wollemia [1]
- Neolecta
Animals
Stewart had documented 121 specific living fossils [3].
Argument Against Darwinism
Darwinists acknowledge they have no answer as to why some genera survived unchanged for millions of years while others have supposedly evolved (Ward, Peter. 1992. On Methuselah’s Trail: Living Fossils and the Great Extinctions. W. H. Freeman and Company, New York). Margaret Helder reviewed Ward's book in Creation Matters Vol. 3, No. 2 (March/April, 1998) [4] Similarly, Darwinist M. Afaro acknowledged having no answer in Darwinian theory for the persistence of living fossils [5]
Dr. Joachim Scheven is a zoologist/paleontologist with a Ph.D. from the University of Munich. He worked as a research biologist at an institute in Tübingen and taught in Africa and Germany before setting up his single-handedly amassed collection of ‘living fossils’ in a Flood geology display at the Lebendige Vorwelt museum in Hagen Germany [6].
