Fossil fun...

Yesterday, a pastor came to our church to preach. His name is Timothy Standish. He is a scientist at Geo-Science Research Institute in Loma Linda University. During church service he preached on the topic of "What makes God God?" He said that God makes God God because He created us and all living things on Earth.

Now, after church, everybody had lunch and went back to church to attend a seminar Mr. Timothy was holding. At the seminar he explained The Door to the Universe and why evolution is cannot possibly open it. He explained that everything could not have happened by random chance. Everything is so complex that someone really intelligent must have made them all. I can't give you every detail cause I forgot most of it. What I really wanted to show you today is this:



After the seminar, he invited to go up front and look at some of the fossils he brought with him. The pictures above is a fossilized Ammonite. It supposedly looked like this.


Here's some more.



This one's a Trilobite, meaning "three lobes". Because they are divided into three.


I think you probably know this one...


This is a Brachiopod. It looks like a clam but instead of being divided horizontally, they are divided vertically.


This fossil is from a whale. I think it's like their hearing device. It is located in the upper part of the jaw to feel vibrations.


Can you guess what this is?
