Reptile Fossil will Prompt Evolution Rewrites

Proponents of descent with modifications evolution have boxed themselves in with their fundamentally flawed worldview, but they have a rescuing device. A big one, because the problem is serious. An amniote track fossil was found in the wrong place according to evolutionary predictions.

Researchers see the tracks and make a story about what went on. One reptile went across the ground, rain lightly fell, and others ran across the ground later. However, it is obvious that tracks disappear quickly. The scientists did not say how these were preserved.

One problem for secularists is that it takes the right conditions to preserve the fossil tracks, and those would come from the Genesis Flood. What they cannot wave off is the dating of the tracks. Reptiles have always been reptiles since creation, and the tracks support what creationists say. Rewrite the evolution textbooks? Why, sure! They do it all the time.

Reptiles belong to a group of animals called amniotes that also include birds and mammals. A new Australian fossil discovery of a clawed amniote demonstrates these animals appeared much earlier than predicted by evolution theory. The introductory paragraph from the evolutionary website Earth.com says it all: “The origin of reptiles on Earth has been pushed back by an astonishing 40 million years. Fossilized tracks unearthed in Australia provide compelling evidence that reptile-like animals existed far earlier than previously thought.”
