Paleontology: Difference between revisions

Paleobotany is involved with the study of ancient plants.  It is an important area of [[creation biology]], as creationism and evolutionism have radically different descriptions of ancient plant life.  Creationism holds that a wide variety of plant life was created by God fully intact with the capacity to reproduce and adapt to changing environments, approximately 6,000 years ago.  [[Evolutionism]] holds that all plant life (and indeed all life on the planet) is related by [[common descent]] over millions of years, and that more complex plants developed more recently than simpler plants.
