Old School Spider

  • The Science entry posted on November 23rd, 2005.

This is an old article and old story but I came across it and felt the need to post it along. I’ve been reading a lot about it on Evolution vs. Creation forums.

This 20-million year old spider, preserved in amber, recently turned up in a museum’s archived collections. It conjures up images of Crichton’s Jurassic Park. But is the spider really 20 million years old? Perhaps it’s actually a casualty of the biblical global flood!

Dr. Penney believes it was climbing up a tree 20 million years ago when it was hit on the head by fast flowing resin, became engulfed in the resin and died.
