Oak, willow, magnolia, sassafras, palms, and other such common flowering plants...and Orchids!In other words, they found that the supposedly 15- to 20-million-year-old pollen belonged to orchids we can find and observe today. Why, then, did the orchid not "evolve" with other living organisms???

Plants didn't evolve, just as animals and people didn't. God put the law into effect for things to produce their own kind.

When an organism is particularly well adapted, it can survive without much change for very long periods of time. Evolution is not an imperative process. Australia, for example, has many life forms which are very sensitive to invasive species because the sub-continent was shielded from many changes in the environment for a long time. Also, ants are pretty much the same way they were from 350 million years ago. Some organisms undergo radical transformations while others don't. Biologists have been aware of this for quite some time.

Thought I would throw my hat in the ring by saying, the reason they spend so much on cosmetic surgery is the doctors charge way too much, and they wouldn't need cosmetic surgery if society wasn't so judgmental on how people look. We as a society have created this problem along with many others, and when you talk about how much you have given and boast about it, you have just got your reward as Christianity teaches, so no I would not follow in your footsteps, that is sin according to the Bible. On a reality sense I can tell if the rich or well to do helped the poor and needy, we would all just be mediocre, and that's just like communism, something I'm not to crazy about, but wait you didn't say the poor would have to work we would just give it to them and help them out. I think we already do this, its called social assistance and our taxes cover that cost along with producing jobs for social workers. So we are already giving to the poor, we just are not boasting about the good we are doing. Real charity comes from the heart and is not measured by the media and what others think, it is done in secret so you do not humiliate the needy or crown the giver.

But earth is 5000 years old, right?
No question about those plants then... The dinosaurs probably ate cauliflower.

I have a few cycads, which have not evolved much in about 50 million years.

Because evolution is a lie, and nothing evolves. Except maybe the devil and his tricks.

The "science of evolution" doesn't understand "science," or "evolution." They are akin to the "Al Gore Scientific Theory" which dictates that if you can't explain it, explain it away.
