BITING MIDGE SWARM
Age: 45 million years old
Size: 29 millimeters (1.1 in) by 17 millimeters (0.6 in)
Location: Kaliningrad Region, Russia
Period: Eocene
The fossil record proves that living things are not descended from other species
and did not evolve gradually. 45-million-year-old female midges, identical to
those living today, reveal this once again.

PHASMID NYMPH (WALKING STICK)
Age: 45 million years old
Location: Baltic, Kaliningrad, Russia
Period: Eocene
Masters of camouflage, walking stick insects resemble tree
twigs or leaves. It is next to impossible to tell them apart
from the branch they are resting on. Walking sticks that
lived 45 million years ago and those living today protect
themselves from predators using exactly the same tactics
and camouflage themselves in the same way. The structures
of these insects have not changed for 45 million years—evidence
that evolution never took place. |

WORKER ANT, APHID LARVA
Age: 45 million years old
Size: 20 milimeters (0.7 in) by 12 millimeters (0.4 in) ; inclusions: 2 millimeters
(0.07 in)
Location: Kaliningrad Region, Russia
Period: Eocene
"Ant" is the general name given to some 8,000 species of insects that
live social lives, live in colonies, and build their nests under ground. Each
species of ant has its own particular characteristics. Inside this amber, a semi-adult
leaf aphid has been fossilized alongside the worker ant. Aphids generally live
cooperative lives with ants, because some ants feed the aphids.
These 45-million-year-old creatures, identical to today's ants and aphids, defy
the claims made by the theory of evolution.

CRAB SPIDER
Age: 45 million years old
Size: amber: 17 millimeters (0.6 in) by 8 millimeters (0.03
in) across; spider: 5 millimeters (0.1 in)
Location: Baltic, Kaliningrad, Russia
Period: Eocene
Spiders, of which this specimen resembles a crab, have some
2,000 different species. The crab spider in this amber is
45 million years old and identical to contemporary crab spiders. |
|
 |
APHID LARVA
Age: 45 million years old
Size: 7 millimeters (0.2 in) in diameter
Location: Baltic, Kaliningrad, Russia
Period: Eocene
Aphids belonging to the family Pemphigidae are wingless. Their primary host plants are trees, and sometimes herbaceous plants. The aphid larva pictured is 45 million years old. Aphids
and their larvae have remained the same for all that time,
demolishing all the claims of the theory of evolution. |

|
LONG-LEGGED
Age: 45 million years old
Size: 15 millimeters (0.5 in) long, 9 millimeters (0.3 in)
across,
Location: Baltic, Kaliningrad, Russia
Period: Eocene
This fly, a member of the order Diptera, has preserved all
the same characteristics for millions of years, never undergoing
any change. Any species that has remained the same over 45
million years invalidates evolution. |
|
 |
MIDGE
Age: 45 million years old
Size: 14 millimeters (0.5 in) long, 8 millimeters (0.3 in) across
Location: Baltic, Kaliningrad, Russia
Period: Eocene
Darwinists—in a help less position when it comes to the
origin of insects, as they are with regard to so many other subjects— cannot
offer any scientific explanation when confronted by fossils in amber. These life
forms are manifest proofs that evolution never took place. |
|
|
CADDISFLY
Age: 50 million years old
Location: Baltic, Kaliningrad, Russia
Period: Eocene
The larvae of the caddisfly are used as fishing bait. Caddisflies have preserved
the same structures and characteristics for millions of years, never undergoing
any changes. This 50-million-year-old fossil caddis fly is also proof that these
living things have never altered.

WASP
Age: 50 million years old
Location: Baltic, Kaliningrad, Russia
Period: Eocene
Pictured is a 50-million-year-old wasp preserved in Baltic amber. Like all other
living things, wasps, which have remained the same for 50 million years, show
that evolution never happened, and that God created them. |
|

COCKROACH
Age: 50 million years old
Location: Baltic, Kaliningrad, Russia
Period: Eocene
The cockroach, the earliest known winged insect, emerges in the fossil record
in the Carboniferous Period, a full 350 million years ago. This insect—with
its delicate antennae sensitive to the slightest movement, even an air current,
its perfect wings, even its ability to withstand nuclear radiation—has
remained exactly the same for hundreds of millions of years. This 50-million-year-old
cockroach is no different from present-day specimens.

STONE FLY
Age: 50 million years old
Location: Baltic, Kaliningrad, Russia
Period: Eocene
Stone flies range between 5 and 10 millimeters (0.1 and 0.3
in) in length and have two long antennae; their larvae are
used as fishing bait. They too have remained unchanged for
millions of years. This 50-million-year-old fossil stone
fly pictured is identical to stone flies living today. |
|
|
MOTH
Age: 50 million years old
Location: Baltic, Kaliningrad, Russia
Period: Eocene
The moth is an insect species closely resembling a butterfly. Both butterflies
and moths are members of the order Lepidoptera. The 50-million-year-old
moth in the picture, no different to present-day specimens, again confirms that
living things were never subjected to evolution.

GRASSHOPPER
Age: 50 million years old
Location: Baltic, Kaliningrad, Russia
Period: Eocene
The fossil record shows that, contrary to what evolutionists suppose, insects
have no primitive forerunners. According to fossil discoveries, all insect species
appeared suddenly, with all their particular characteristics, and have survived
with those same characteristics ever since. One proof of this is this 50-million-year-old
fossil grasshopper, which is no different from present-day grasshoppers.
|
|
|
CATERPILLAR
Age: 50 million years old
Location: Baltic, Kaliningrad, Russia
Period: Eocene
One proof that caterpillars have always been caterpillars
is this 50-million-year-old specimen preserved in amber.
Caterpillars, which have maintained all the same features
despite the intervening millions of years, show that evolution
is a gross deception. |
|
 |
GRASSHOPPER
Age: 50 million years old
Location: Baltic, Kaliningrad, Russia
Period: Eocene
This grasshoppers, 50 million years old and preserved in amber, is identical to their present-day counterparts. These insects have been the same for millions of years; they did not evolve, but were created. |
|

FLY
Age: 50 million years old
Location: Poland
Period: Eocene
There is no difference between flies that lived 50 million
years ago and flies living today. The fossil fly in amber
pictured is one proof of this fact. |

FLY
Age: 50 million years old
Location: Poland
Period: Eocene
Flies emerge suddenly in the fossil record. One of their
major characteristics is their extraordinary maneuvering
ability. Human beings cannot raise and lower their arms 10
times a second, yet the average fly is able to beat its wings
500 times a second. In addition, both wings beat simultaneously.
The slightest discepancy between the vibration of the wings
would make the fly lose its balance. Yet no such discrepancy
ever arises. It is of course impossible to account for the
instantaneous appearance of living things with such flawless
structures in terms of evolution. This is one of the clear
proofs of God's creation. |

BUTTERFLY
Age: 50 million years old
Location: Poland
Period: Eocene
This 50-million-year-old butterfly fossil shows that these
insects have remained the same despite the intervening tens
of millions of years. |
|
 |
LEAFHOPPER
Age: 45 million years old
Size: 10 millimeters (0.3 in) long, 8 millimeters (0.3 in)
across; leafhopper: 4 millimeters (0.16 in)
Location: Baltic, Kaliningrad, Russia
Period: Eocene
Pictured is a 45-million-year-old leafhopper, no different
from today's specimens. This complete similarity is an important
indication that evolution is a fictitious process that never
actually took place. |
|
|
SCUTTLE FLY
Age: 45 million years old
Size: Amber: 23 millimeters (0.9 in) long, 13 millimeters
(0.5 in) across; inclusion: 1 millimeter (0.01 in)
Location: Baltic, Kaliningrad, Russia
Period: Upper Eocene
This 45-million-year-old fossil fly reveals that the theory
of evolution is an imaginary process that never took place.
Living things are not descended from a supposed common forebear,
as Darwin maintained, and have undergone no intermediate
stages. |
|
 |
MOTH
Age: 45 million years old
Size: 27 millimeters (1 in) long, 18 millimeters (0.7 in)
across
Location: Baltic, Kaliningrad, Russia
Period: Eocene
That today's moths are identical to ones that lived millions
of years ago indicates that living things have never changed
for so long as they have existed—and have never undergone
evolution. The 45-million-year-old fossil moth pictured once
again demonstrates this fact. |
|
|
DANCE FLY
Age: 45 million years old
Size: amber: 32 millimeters (1.2 in) by 23 millimeters (0.9
in); inclusion: 2 millimeters (0.01 in)
Location: Baltic, Kaliningrad, Russia
Period: Eocene
One example of how living things have maintained the same
characteristics for as long as they have existed and have
never undergone evolution is this 45-million-year-old fossil
fly, identical to today's dance flies. |

WINGED ANT
Age: 45 million years old
Size: Amber: 13 millimeters (0.5 in) by 8 millimeters (0.3 in)
Location: Baltic Kaliningrad, Russia
Period: Eocene
The 45-million-year-old winged ant pictured is identical to present-day winged ants. |
