The Oldest Bat Fossil in the World
Our fossil cast is said to date from the Eocene Epoch, some 15 million years ago. Notice that it is fully modern in appearance which means that the fossil record shows no evolutionary history for the bat's amazing anatomical structure. To the right of our fossil bat is a copy of a recent Discover Magazine which featured an article on the amazing abilities of bats. According to the article the US government is spending millions of dollars trying to create a flying machine that can move the way a bat can. So far the greatest minds in aeronautical engineering haven't come anywhere close. The fact that the bat's design has these great minds stumped, along the fact that the fossils reveal no evolutionary history for the bat's design, can only support the creation worldview.
