Evolutionists Claim They Caught A 100 Million Year Old Flower It After Its Blossomed

Evolutionists have found a new species in the Myanmar, called the Valviloculus pleristaminis. They say it is a 100 million years old, yet in resembles the blackheart sassafras found in Australia. And this makes the flower interesting  because Australia lies 4,000 kilometres from Myanmar. The flower was trapped in resin from an extinct tree and it is only 2 millimetres across, but has 50 stamens arranged in a beautiful spiral.

Accoding to George Poinar Jr., a paleontologist with OSU's Department of Integrative Biology Poinar, author of a report on the discovery in the Journal of the Botanical Research Institute of Texas., 

The true story of the flood is a more easy way to explain the idea. Resin comes from treed that were usual after Noah’s Flood.

Amber Insects Fossil Still Glow

The insects can be dated back to the Cretaceous period, which occurred 99 million years ago. The animals were all preserved in pieces of amber from a mine in northern Myanmar. The insects—a beetle, a fly, and a wasp—are so well-preserved in the amber that their true color could be identified.

“The way that the colour is preserved in these things is really remarkable,” says James Lamsdell, a University of West Virginia paleobiologist who was not involved in the research.

It may sound odd, but all the insects preserved in amber in Myanmar are by evolutionist deemed to be  99 millions years old. This is because the daters only got to measure a piece that was thought to be 99 million years old.

"In terms of colour, they are almost the same as cuckoo wasps that live today," said Dr, Cai Chenyang, who led the study published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B.

Now, if the insects were as old as they suppose, then it means no evolution for 99 million years. How dinosaurs turned into birds in a short span of time? is a question they have to address. The Genesis worldview with its global flood can answer the question.

Hummingbird Sized Dinosaur May Actually Be A Lizard, Evolution Claims

A fossil attributed to a teensy, feathered dinosaur may not be a dinosaur at all, but rather a ... lizard, according to new research. With the new criticism, the March study — titled "Hummingbird-sized dinosaur from the Cretaceous period of Myanmar" was retracted on July 22 from the journal Nature where it had been published, according to a statement in the journal.

The creature’s 99 million-year-old skull was entombed in amber when scientists discovered it in a mine in Myanmar (formerly Burma), Entombed in amber for 99 million years - This is the standard view of birds or animals trapped in amber found in Myanmar.

Despite what the scientist say, birds cannot change into dinosaurs. That is a Darwinian story that can't be verified. A tiny bird has been found in Myanmar, and early birds molted just like modern birds do.

It may sound odd, but all the insects preserved in amber in Myanmar are by evolutionist deemed to be 99 millions years old. This is because the daters only got to measure a piece that was thought to be 99 million years old. And now they report the song, as it were.

In a study published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B, Chinese scientist looked at the coloration of insects though to be 99 millions years old.

Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (NIGPAS) Dr. Cai Chenyang, associate professor at NIGPAS who lead the study.

This is what he had to say.

"The rare set of amber fossils includes cuckoo wasps with metallic bluish-green, yellowish-green, purplish-blue or green colours on the head, thorax, abdomen, and legs. In terms of colour, they are almost the same as cuckoo wasps that live today, said Dr. Cai."

Now, if the insects were as old as they suppose, then it means no evolution for 99 million years. How dinosaurs turned into birds in a short span of time? is a question they have to address.

New Living Fossils Are Just Like Their Present Cousins

“It is well-known that living fossils exhibit stasis over geologically long time scales. Examples are the panda and ginkgo. Now, two tiny beetles trapped in 99-million-year-old amber may join this group.”

“An international team led by Dr. Cai Chenyang, from the Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, reported two new and rare species of the extant family Clambidae from Burmese amber: Acalyptomerus thayerae and Sphaerothorax uenoi.“

“Both species are extremely morphologically close to their living counterparts, and can be placed in extant genera.
”

Fossils trapped in amber tend to be problematic for Darwinians, as – regardless of their assumed age – they almost always show a profound lack of change.

Practically all insects trapped in amber look the same as today’s animals. Creatures like ticks, beetles, spiders, wasps or ants defy Darwinian expectations by their stasis or lack of evolution.

While the dates are inflated, the discovery shows that life in the fallen world had its disadvantages.
