The December 5, 2003 issue of Science's page 1645 news note, "Gutsy Fossil Sets Record for Staying the Course," authored by Erik Stokstad, should give pause to neo-Darwinists committed to the evolutionary dogma tied to the conjecture that life can change to entirely new formats if given enough time---at least many millions-of-years.

A supposedly 425-million-year old crustacean, Colymbosathon ecplecticos, has amazed experts because it’s soft tissue anatomy is "eerily similar" to its modern relatives. Koen Martens, University of Amsterdam zoologist, admitted to being "flabbergasted" by the discovery. The U.S. Geological Survey's, Tom Cronin, reacted with surprise at the "demonstration of unbelievable stability."

The stunning 2003 report exemplifies findings that leave evolutionism’s reliance on its radiometric dating crutch between a rock and a hard place: either this crustacean fossil didn’t appreciably change in more than 400-million years as per Darwinian prediction or else the dating process is flawed. One or both conclusions jeopardize evolutionism’s "big gun" issue.
