FOSSIL FINDS FILL FIELD TRIP WITH GRACE as Grace Bible
Church (Holland Park)
spent the day with Creation Research. One find was a
great Ginko leaf. Ginko is the fossil responsible for
Charles Darwin inventing the term 'living fossil'. In
his day the newly discovered living Ginko had just been
introduced into England. Like the newly released Wollemi
Pine, Ginko was not only selling at fabulous prices,
but was and is a tremendous reminder evolution is not
true.
We added the new Ginko fossil (below left) to our great
collection which will form a key part of our Web Museum
showing that the history of Ginko is degeneration not
evolution. Notice the decrease in size and number of
fronds on the Ginko leaf. This degenerative process
has diminished the size of the Ginko and stuck the separate
fronds together. Today's ginko has only 2 fronds which
is why it is called 'Ginko biloba', but you can still
see the original segments in the ginko leaf if you look
carefully. |
