They read that coelacanths were believe to have gone extinct in the Late Cretaceous until one was found in 1938 and dubbed a 'living fossil', so they proclaim that it hasn't evolved, just so with the horseshoe crabs, of which there are four species which have evolved from a common ancestor in the last few million years. The fact that they are the only members of an ancient order is good enough for creationists to declare that they haven't evolved and then to use that 'fact' to spread disinformation and misunderstanding amongst their ignorant followers.<br /><br />See <a href="http://rosarubicondior.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/religious-fossils.html" rel="nofollow">Religion's Living Fossils</a>.<br />Rosa Rubicondiorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06063268216781988588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7583674511519808833.post-47721783858127726792014-01-12T10:08:28.405+00:002014-01-12T10:08:28.405+00:00I don't think it's quite accurate to say t...I don't think it's quite accurate to say the coelacanths haven't evolved. Fossil coelacanths are much smaller. Also, there are two distinct populations of coelacanth - one off the Comoros and the other in Indonesia - which are distinct in appearance (though of the same size) and belong to different species. This proves without doubt that they have evolved further after the fossil record ended.Bill the Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08436195659154078021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7583674511519808833.post-74121163720926693222014-01-11T18:37:33.925+00:002014-01-11T18:37:33.925+00:00I just shared your article on twitter just to lear...I just shared your article on twitter just to learn @RosaRessurected had been suspended.
