2. Fossil Specimens Discovered in North and South America (3/5)
Fossil Specimens Found in the Dominican Republic
One of the settings in which fossils form is amber. Fossils preserved in amber are the result of the resin produced by trees trapping a living thing and preserving it at that exact moment. Resin is insoluble in water and solidifies very quickly in contact with the air. Subsequently, the process of polymerization commences (monomer molecules entering into chemical reactions give rise to three-dimensional chains), and the clear resin continues to harden over the course of millions of years. The living creature entombed in the resin thus remains unchanged from its original state millions of years ago.
Worldwide, there are more than 100 known amber beds. The oldest known ambers have been obtained from the Lebanese Mountains and date back to the Cretaceous Period (130 to 120 million years). Recent research has revealed some new amber beds going back to the Mesozoic Era. These include Jordanian amber, dating back 80 to 75 million years, New Jersey amber approximately 80 million years old, Cedar Lake ambers, again 80 to 75 million years old, French ambers around 70 million years old, and Pyrenean ambers going back 100 million years. The majority of fossils obtained from many other amber beds belong to the Eocene-Miocene periods (55 to 5 million years ago).
Most amber fossils from the Dominican Republic also belong to the Eocene-Miocene periods. In the Dominican Republic, there are two main amber beds. One is a mountain region to the North-East of the city of Santiago; the other is the mines near the town of El Valle, to the northeast of the city of Santo Domingo. Dominican amber is formed from the resin from trees belonging to the species Hymenaea. One of its most important characteristics is the wealth of the species fossilized in it. In addition to the tens of thousands of insects, small frogs, lizards and scorpions have also been fossilized in Dominican amber.
There are more than 100 amber beds around the world. One of them lies in Norway, where Baltic ambers are found.
Like all other fossils, amber fossils discovered in the Dominican Republic demonstrate one very significant fact: Living things have undergone no change over millions of years, in other words, they never underwent evolution. Mosquitoes have always existed as mosquitoes, ants as ants, bees as bees, dragonflies as dragonflies and spiders as spiders. In short, all living creatures have possessed exactly the same features since the moment they first came into the world, and have remained in that same form. Living things preserved in amber millions of years ago are identical to present-day specimens. This deals a lethal blow to the theory of evolution and once again demonstrates the fact of creation.
Some amber beds in the Dominican Republic (small pictures)

Planthopper
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
The 25-million-year-old planthopper pictured is identical to present-day planthoppers. These insects, which have remained unchanged despite the passage of millions of years, refute the theory of evolution.

Jumping Spider
Age: 25 million years old
Size: 16 millimeters (0.6 in) by 10 millimeters (0.3 in)
Location: The mountains near Santiago, Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
This piece of amber contains a jumping spider from the family Salticidae. These spiders take their name from the way they jump onto their prey, leaping up to 50 times their own length. In addition to the four eyes at the front of their heads, they also have four small eyes with flawless structures in immediate proximity to these, which they use to identify their prey.
Just like their present-day counterparts, jumping spiders that lived millions of years ago had a complete, flawless structure. And over millions of years, no change has taken place in that structure. The 25-million-year amber illustrated is proof of that.

Horseshoe Crab Beetle
Age: 25 million years old
Size: 11 millimeters (0.4 in) by 9 millimeters (0.3 in)
Location: Mountains near Santiago, Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
Horseshoe crab beetles generally live near ant nests. This 25-million-year-old fossil proves that these insects were never subjected to evolution. There is no difference between this beetle from millions of years ago and those living today.
|
 |
|
Scelionid Wasp
Age: 25 million years
Size: 17 millimeters (0.6 in) by 10 millimeters (0.3 in)
Location: Mountains near Santiago, Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
Scelionid wasps generally live under fallen leaves. These wasps are known to parasitize a great many insect species, and especially their eggs. The scelionid wasp pictured was fossilized while flying, and is no different from present-day specimens.
This 25-million-year scelionid wasp preserved in amber shows that these insects, like all other creatures, did not evolve.
|
 |
|
Assassin Bug
Age: 25 million years old
Size: 18 millimeters (0.7 in) long, 14 millimeters (0.5 in) across
Location: Mountains near Santiago, Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
This piece of amber contains a rarely-seen specimen of an assassin bug. Assassin bugs feed in a manner known as external digestion. They release a secretion that liquifies the tissues of their prey, after which they ingest this solution. The toxin acts rapidly and renders the prey powerless within a few seconds. While some assassin bugs actively seek out their prey, others lie in wait for it. The colors on this specimen's wings have been well preserved.
Modern-day assassin bugs possess all the same features as those living 25 million years ago. The fossil pictured is one of the proofs that assassin bugs never evolved, maintaining exactly the same characteristics for millions of years.

Pseudoscorpion
Age: 25 million years old
Size: 17 millimeters (0.6 in) long, 11 millimeters (0.4 in) across
Location: Mountains near Santiago, Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
Pseudoscorpions are actually arachnids that resemble scorpions, but lack the scorpion's long tail and sting, using their pincers to capture their prey. Pseudoscorpions can be found under fallen leaves, or beneath earth and rocks. Some 2,000 different pseudoscorpion species are known to exist.
There is no difference between pseudoscorpions that lived 25 million years ago and specimens alive today. This lack of any anatomical difference proves that these arachnids did not evolve.
|
 |
|
Winged Ant
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
Winged ants have two long wings 5 to 8 millimeters (1.9 to 3.1 in) in length. They build their nests close to sources of food and water. These ants have remained unchanged for millions of years.
The fossil ant in 25-million-year-old amber shows that these insects have been remained the same for millions of years, in other words, they did not undergo evolution.
|
 |
|
Fire Beetle, Millepede, and a Spider
Age: 25 million years old
Size: 15 millimeters (0.5 in) by 13 millimeters (0.5 in)
Location: Mountains near Santiago, Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
This insect belongs to the family Pyrochroidae and is generally known as the fire beetle or flame-colored beetle. Its edged antennae can be seen very distinctly in this specimen. This chunk of amber also contains a fossil millipede and a spider.
Fire beetles, millipedes and spiders have all remained unchanged for millions of years, showing that living things did not evolve from one another in stages, but were created at once, together with all their characteristics.

Parasitic Wasp and a Humpbacked Fly
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
This 25-million-year-old parasitic wasp and humpbacked fly fossil are proof that, like all other living things, these species did not evolve. These insects have been the same for millions of years, and have never changed.

Stingless Bee
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
This stingless bee fossilized in amber are identical to modern-day specimens.
|
 |
|
Winged Ants, Gall Gnat
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
Winged ants and gall gnats, which have survived unchanged for 25 million years, demolish the claims of the theory of evolution.

|
 |
|
Spider and Spider Web
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
Like all other life forms, spiders have survived for hundreds of millions of years without changing their structure. The spider and spider web here preserved in amber are 25 million years old. Identical to specimens alive today, they tell us that they were created, and did not evolve.
|
 |
|
Barklouse
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
We have countless fossil specimens belonging to thousands of insect species, all of which fossils show that they have had the same characteristics since they first came into being and never evolved. One of these fossils is a 25-million-year-old amber chunk showing that barklice have been the same for millions of years.
|
 |
|
Barkbeetle
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
Barkbeetles of 25 million years ago were the same as those today. These insects, which have been the same for millions of years, are one example showing that living things did not evolve, but were created.
|
 |
|
Horseshoe Crab Beetle
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
All fossil records refute the Darwinists who maintain that living things gradually descended from one another. But fossils show that living things appeared suddenly and with all their complete and flawless structures, and that they never changed for as long as they existed. This clear evidence of God's creation can never be explained by evolutionists.
One of the specimens that evolutionists cannot account for is a horseshoe crab beetle fossilized in amber, 25 million years old. The horseshoe crab beetles deny evolution.
|
 |
|
Winged Ant
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
This amber contains a winged ant fossil. There is no difference between winged ants alive today and those that lived millions of years ago—one of the proofs that like other living things, winged ants did not evolve.
|
 |
|
Spider
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
Spiders today possess all the features possessed by those that lived millions of years ago. A 25-million-year- old spider fossilized in amber is one of the proofs of this.
|
 |
|
Worker Ant
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
Ants are one of the most numerous species on Earth. Fossil records have revealed that ants have been the same for millions of years, and have never undergone any changes—in other words, they never evolved. The 25-million-year-old worker ant fossil pictured confirms this fact.
|
 |
|
Winged Ant
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
There is no difference between 25-million-year-old winged ants and specimens alive today. Winged ants that have remained the same despite the passage of millions of years are some of the proofs that evolution never happened.
|
 |
|
Caddisfly, Dark-Winged Fungus Gnats
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
Pictured are a caddis fly and fungus gnats in amber. These living things have survived for millions of years without the slightest change in their structures. The fact that these insects never changed is a sign that they never evolved.

 |
|
Winged Termite
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
The 25-million-year-old amber in the picture contains a winged termite fossil. These creatures have possessed the same flawless systems for millions of years, and not the slightest change has taken place in their structures.
|
 |
|
True Bug
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
Insects of the genus Hemiptera, of which there are more than 48,000 species, appear suddenly in the fossil record and survived unchanged for millions of years. Like all other insect species, these insects refute evolution.
|
 |
|
Spider and Spider Web
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
A fossilized spider and its web can be seen in this amber. The 25-million-year-old spider and web are identical to modern-day spiders and webs, which completely invalidates the theory of evolution.
|
 |
|
Winged Ants
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
Winged ants, which have remained the same for 25 million years, are among those fossil specimens that show that the theory of evolution is invalid. Evolutionists have no consistent scientific way to account for living things that have not altered for millions of years.
|
 |
|
Winged Termite
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
Insect species that have undergone no changes for millions of years represent a major impasse for the theory of evolution. Species that always appear with the same structures in the fossil record are among the proofs that living things never underwent evolution. The winged termite in the amber pictured is 25 million years old, and is no different than its counterparts living today.
|
 |
|
Grasshopper
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
Specimens of fossilized grasshoppers are identical to those living today. The fact that grasshoppers that lived 25 million years ago were identical to present-day specimens shows that evolution never happened.
|
 |
|
Scelionid Wasp, Leafhopper
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
A scelionid wasp and a leafhopper fossilized in 25-million-year-old amber. Scelionid wasps and leafhoppers that have remained unchanged for millions of years refute evolution.

 |
|
Pinhole Borer Beetle
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
Evolutionists cannot point to even a single fossil indicating that beetles evolved, though tens of thousands of fossils show that they did not. Like other living things, insects appeared suddenly with all their characteristics and remained unchanged for hundreds of millions of years. One of the discoveries that proves this is this 25-million-year-old pinhole borer beetle fossilized in amber.
|
 |
|
Parasitic Wasp, Springtail
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
The theory of evolution has suffered a major defeat in the face of fossil discoveries. One example is the parasitic wasp and springtail in the 25-million-year-old amber pictured. No different to specimens alive today, these ancient arthropods point to the fact of creation.
springtail (on the right of the picture)
|
 |
|
Pteromalid Wasp
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
Pteromalid wasps have remained unchanged for millions of years—in other words, they never evolved. This indisputable scientific fact is revealed by the fossil record. One example is the wasp fossil in the 25-million-year-old amber, pictured.
|
 |
|
Rove Beetle
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
Rove beetles are part of the order Coleoptera. Alongside the rove beetle, another small beetle has been fossilized in the amber. Rove beetles, which have remained the same for 25 million years, refute evolutionists' claims.
|
 |
|
Winged Ant
Age: 25 million years old
Size: Amber: 13 millimeters (0.5 in) long , 7 millimeters (0.2 in) across
Location: Near Santiago, Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
Male winged ants, or drones, are sent out from the colonies in order to mate with queens. There is no difference between this 25-million-year-old winged ant fossilized in the amber and present-day winged ants.
|
 |
|
Winged Ant, Gall Gnat
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
The gall gnat is a species of fly smaller than a mosquito. The gall gnat fossilized here is 25 million years old. There is also a fossil winged ant alongside it. Winged ants and gnats that have remained unchanged for millions of years are among the proofs that evolution never happened.
(middle image: Winged ant, on right-bottom of the picture: Gall gnat)
|
 |
|
Cranefly
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
There is no difference between today's craneflies and those that lived 25 million years ago. The fossil in the amber, pictured, is one indication of this.
|
 |
|
Humpbacked Fly
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
Humpbacked flies are a very small species that resembles fruit flies. All the fossil specimens discovered show that humpbacked flies have always existed in their current form. This humpbacked fly in 25-million-year-old amber once again confirms this fact.
|
 |
|
Biting Midge
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
There is no difference between today's biting midges and this fossilized biting midge that lived millions of years ago.
|
 |
|
Dark- Winged Fungus Gnat
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
This dark-winged fungus gnat is 25 million years old, defying the claims of evolutionists.

 |
|
Spider Web, Minute Black Scavenger Fly
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
One finding that shows that insects have remained unchanged over millions of years is this 25-million-year-old fossil scavenger fly. A spiderweb was fossilized at the same moment as the insect. Like spiders that lived millions of years ago, their webs too have exactly the same structures.
|
 |
|
Springtail
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
There is no difference between springtails that lived 25 million years ago and those alive today.
|
 |
|
Humpbacked Fly
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
Just as fish have always been fish, reptiles have always been reptiles and birds have always been birds, insects have always existed as insects. Humpbacked flies that have remained the same for 25 million years emphasize this fact once again.
|
 |
|
Earwig, Worker Ant
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
In this amber, a worker ant has been fossilized alongside the earwig. Earwig is the general name given to insects of the order Dermaptera. Some 1,800 species from 10 different families have been identified. The most striking feature in all the fossilized specimens is that, as with other living things, there has been no change in their structure. Earwigs have remained unchanged for millions of years, and constitute one of the proofs that invalidate evolution.

 |
|
Planthopper Nymph
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
As with planthopper adults, planthopper nymphs have also possessed exactly the same characteristics for millions of years. The 25-million-year-old fossil specimen pictured shows that present-day larvae are identical to those that lived in the past.
|
 |
|
Fly
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
Flies have always existed as flies, and are not descended from any other life form and have undergone no intermediate stages. One of the proofs of this is this fossil in 25-million-year-old amber in the picture.
|
 |
|
Minute Black Scavenger Fly
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
All known species of fly have had exactly the same features throughout the course of history. The fossil record reveals that like all other living things, flies were created by God.
|
 |
|
Snout Beetle, Pinhole Borer Beetle
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
There is no difference between the snout beetles and pinhole borer beetles that lived 25 million years ago and specimens living today. This is evidence that evolution never took place.
top image: Snout beetle
|
 |
|
Moth Fly
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
These flies, so-named because of their resemblance to moths, have remained unchanged for millions of years. This fossil in 25-million-year-old amber shows that those living millions of years ago are identical to modern-day moth flies.
|
 |
|
Cricket, True Bugs
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
Pictured are various insects of the order Hemiptera together with a cricket, all fossilized in amber. There is no difference between crickets that lived millions of years ago and those alive today.
Cricket (on the right)
|
 |
|
Gall Gnat
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
Gall gnats, which have not altered in millions of years, are evidence that invalidates the theory of evolution. This fossil gnat in the amber is 25 million years old.
|
 |
|
Biting Midge, Gall Gnat
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
These 25-million-year-old midge and gall gnat, identical to midges and gall gnats living today, are among the proofs that living things never underwent evolution.
|
 |
|
Fungus Gnat
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
Pictured is a fungus gnat preserved in amber. These insects have been the same for millions of years. The fact that there has been no change in their structures for so long is a situation that can never be explained by evolutionists.
(Right two pictures: Fungus gnat)
|
 |
|
Pinhole Borer Beetle
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
Pinhole borer beetles alive today have exactly the same systems and structure as those living millions of years ago. The fact that 25-million-year-old pinhole borer beetles were identical to those living today proves this.
|
 |
|
Minute Black Scavenger Fly
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
This fossilized scavenger fly in amber is 25 million years old. Scavenger flies, which have remained the same despite the passage of millions of years, condemn evolutionists to silence.
|
 |
|
Woodgnat
Age: 25 million years old
Size: Amber: 29 millimeters (1.1 in) long , 27 millimeters (1 in) across
Location: Near Santiago, Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
One of the examples that invalidates Darwinists' claims is this fossil woodgnat in the 25-million-year-old amber. Woodgnats that have remained unaltered for millions of years prove that they never underwent evolution.
|
 |
|
Psocid
Age: 25 million years old
Size: Amber: 13 millimeters (0.5 in) by 12 millimeters (0.4 in); inclusion: 2 millimeters (0.08 in)
Location: Near Santiago, Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
There is no difference between present-day psocids and those that lived 25 million years ago. Psocids that have remained unchanged for 25 million years overturn all evolutionists' claims.
|
 |
|
Mayfly
Age: 25 million years old
Size: Amber: 25 millimeters (0.9 in) by 16 millimetres (0.6 in)
Location: Near Santiago, Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
There are more than 2,500 known species of mayfly. These insects, with their very short adult lifespans, have maintained their structures unaltered for millions of years. The pictured mayfly in the amber is 25 million years old. Any creatures that have stayed the same for 25 million years tell us that they did not evolve, but were created.
|
 |
|
Weevil
Age: 25 million years old
Size: Amber: 12 millimeters (0.4 in) by 10 millimeters (0.3 in)
Location: Near Santiago, Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
Weevils, which are part of the family Curculionoidea with its more than 60,000 species, are insects that damage crops. Millions-of-years-old weevil fossils show that there has been no change in these creatures' structures for as long as they have been in existence—meaning that they were never subjected to evolution.
|
 |
|
Moth Fly
Age: 25 million years old
Size: Amber: 10 millimeters (0.3 in) long by 8 millimeters (0.3 in) across
Location: Near Santiago, Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
There is no difference between this 25-million-year-old fossil moth fly and those alive today. This one in amber illustrates this fact.
|
 |
|
Cricket, Crane Fly
Age: 25 million years old
Size: Amber: 11 millimeters (0.4 in) long by 8 millimeters (0.3 in) across
Location: Near Santiago, Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
The cricket and cranefly were fossilized at exactly the same time. As you can see, these species have remained unchanged for 25 million years. The fact this indicates is that living things never underwent evolution, but were created.

|
 |
|
Weevil
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
Weevils have remained unaltered for millions of years, showing that evolution never took place. One of the specimens indicating this is the 25-million-year-old fossil weevil pictured.
|
 |
|
Nymphal Isopod
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
In the same way that there is no difference between modern-day isopods and those that lived 25 million years ago, there is also no difference among their larvae.
|
 |
|
Jumping Plant Lice
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
These insects feed on plant sap and they move by leaping. They have remained unchanged for millions of years, as is evidenced by this 25-million-year-old fossil in amber. There is no difference between the insect entombed in amber and specimens living today.
|
 |
|
Ant
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
Ants, which have survived unchanged for millions of years, are one of the proofs that invalidate the theory of evolution.
|
 |
|
Carpenter Ant
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
There is no difference between specimens of this species that lived millions of years ago and those alive today. This absence of any differences refutes all evolutionist claims that living things developed by stages.
|
 |
|
Sow Bug
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
This 25-million-year-old fossil sow bug in amber shows that they have been the same for millions of years—in other words, that they never underwent evolution.
|
 |
|
Mite And Bark Beetle
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
This amber contains a bark beetle fossilized with a mite on its back. Bark beetles and mites have undergone no changes, despite the passage of millions of years. These life forms that have remained unaltered for 25 million years invalidate evolution.
|
 |
|
Rove Beetle
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
There is no difference between rove beetles that were alive 25 million years ago and those living today. Rove beetles that have remained unchanged for millions of years are one of the proofs that evolution never happened.
|
 |
|
Assassin Bug
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
As with all other living things, assassin bugs have always existed as assassin bugs. Contrary to Darwinist claims, they are not descended from any other life form and never underwent intermediate stages. Assassin bugs 25 million years old prove this fact.
|
 |
|
Ant Lion
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
The ant lion is a winged species of insect resembling the dragonfly. Pictured is a fossil ant lion's head in the amber, 25 million years old, identical to present-day specimens.
|
 |
|
Caterpillar
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
Like other fossils, those in amber show that living things did not gradually descend from one another, but have had exactly the same characteristics for so long as they have existed. The fact such fossils indicate is that caterpillars have always existed as caterpillars, and never underwent evolution.
|
 |
|
Winged Termite
Age: 25 million years old
Size: 19 millimeters (0.7 in) long, 13 millimeters (0.5 in) across
Location: Near Santiago, Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
Pictured is a 25-million-year-old winged termite fossilized in amber. These creatures, which have preserved their structures unchanged despite the intervening 25 million years, show that evolution is not true and that God's sublime creation is an evident fact.
|
 |
|
Fungus Gnat
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
The fossil in the picture, which shows that there had been no change in this life form's structure for millions of years, also refutes the claims of the theory of evolution.
|
 |
|
Dance Fly
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
One proof that dance flies have always existed as dance flies is this 25-million-year-old fossil. Dance flies that lived millions of years ago are identical to those living today.
|
 |
|
Cockroach
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
Fossil findings reveal that cockroaches have undergone no changes for hundreds of millions of years. The cocroach in this amber is 25 million years old. The fossil record shows that cockroaches never evolved, but were created.
|
 |
|
Wasp
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
A wasp was fossilized in this amber. 25 million years old, it is a significant specimen that rebuts the claims of evolution.
|
 |
|
Mosquito
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
One of the tens of thousands of fossils that show that mosquitos have always been mosquitos is the 25-million-year-old fossil pictured. Insects that have been the same for millions of years show that Darwinists' claims are false.

Braconid Wasp
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Size: 6.3 centimeters (2.5 in) by 3.8 centimeters (1.5 in) by 1.2 centimeters ( 0.5 in)
Period: Oligocene
This parasitic wasp in amber is 25 million years old, and there is no difference between it and specimens living today. This is important evidence that evolution is invalid.

Earwig
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
There are millions of fossils that literally silence Darwinism. One of the fossils that leave Darwinists utterly helpless is this earwig in 25-million-year-old amber. As with all other fossil findings, this fossil shows that evolution is invalid.

Queen Ant
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
Queen ants found ant colonies, and thereafter, one of the jobs of worker ants is to protect the queen and her eggs. The 25-million-year-old queen ant pictured is proof that ants have remained the same for millions of years. This shows that evolution never happened and that all living things were created by Almighty God.

Winged Termite
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
Although termites resemble ants, they actually possess very different characteristics and abilities. Termites have been living in colonies for millions of years and have come down to the present day with their structures totally unchanged. Termite fossils 250 million years old are one of the proofs of this. All the termites that have ever lived during the intervening millions of years have been identical to those living today. Just like worker termites that lived 250 million years ago, those living today engage in altruistic behavior, feed the larvae, soldiers and queens, and build nests many meters in size—despite being sightless. The characteristics of present-day termites also apply, without exception, to all termites that have ever lived.
The termite fossil in amber in the picture is 25 million years old.
