Fossils Show Evidence of Ancient Plants
September 17, 2003, by Alex Dominguez, AP
"Scientists have found the best evidence yet that plants appeared on land about 475
million years ago, 50 million years earlier than fossils had established before. While
spores dating back about 475 million years had already been found, it had not been
proven whether they came from land or aquatic plants. In the new study, the spores
were found with the spore sac that produced them, indicating they came from a
land-based plant, said study author Charles Wellman of the University of Sheffield in
England. The oldest fossils of land plants themselves are about 425 million years old
and the age discrepancy between the oldest spores and the oldest fossils has puzzled
scientists, Wellman said."

These kinds of questions need not puzzle Kansans. In their goofy worldview, the earth is only 10,000 years old. They steadfastly believe the Bible says so.
And the state legislature backs them up on that. We think that if Church and State can't be separated, at least
superstitions and myth should be separated from reality. That is unlikely since it's
much more convenient for the Church to continue to fib and then have the State legitimize
all that fibbing by backing it up with goofy laws. |
