According to evolutionists, the origin of  sponges, one of the first animals to evolve, have been found in rocks from 890 million years ago.

“It seems at first glance that this is a very radical paper,” says Elizabeth Turner at Laurentian University in Sudbury, Canada, who made the discovery. However, she says the fossils she found fit with other evidence.

for years the oldest animals were from the Cambrian perIod, which bagan  which began 541 million years ago

However, recently some fossils   from the earlier Ediacaran period  (635 to 541 millions years ago have been identified as animals. There are also 660-million-year-old chemical traces that may be from sponges.

It seems that the quest for the first living creatures has begun, but according to the Bible, all craetures were created in the beginning,
