There are many evidences from Paleontologists that God created the world and that Creation was how the world started.. An example could be dinosaurs. Paleontology experts believe that Dinosaurs roamed the earth with humans. They have evidence because they have seen bones from dinosaurs long ago. They have come to the conclusion that the bones are not even millions of years old and that they are only thousands of years old. They have many clear evidences that dinosaurs lived a thousand years ago because of their bones. A clear evidence that humans have roamed the earth with dinosaurs is that paleontologists have discovered that there are human footprints next to dinosaur footprints. There was fossilized human footprints that paleontologists were studying. The conclusion for Paleontologists is that humans and dinosaurs coexisted and roamed the earth with each other before dinosaurs were extinct. This also proves that evolution did not happen because dinosaurs were supposed to be alive way earlier than humans if evolution were true. In the Bible, God names of some dinosaurs to Job, so we do know that dinosaurs and humans were both alive at the same time during the Biblical times.<ref>[https://www.genesispark.com/exhibits/evidence/paleontological/ Paleontological Evidence] ''Genesis Park''. Web. Unknown Author. November 2018. </ref> Another example that Creation happened instead of evolution is, the Australia Whale story. The whale contradicted the whole fossil theory. The fossil theory goes like this, a Dinosaur dies in the water and sinks. The dinosaur then lies down on it's back and the bones are still in place. Lastly, the bones are covered by the sediment. How the Australian Whale destroys this theory is that, it proves that animals don't immediately sink when they die. Instead the animals float when they are dead. The fossil theory thinks that when animals die, they automatically sink but they do not. That is how the Whale contradicts the fossil theory. <ref> Walker, Tas [https://creation.com/whale-explodes-fossil-theory/ Whale explodes fossil theory] ''Creation.com''.

Paleoanthropology is a specialized branch of physical [[anthropology]] involved with the study of ancient [[human beings]]. Paleoanthropologists are those investigating the origin and subsequent [[evolution]] of human physiology by examining [[fossil]] remains and other ancient evidence. | |||
Mainstream [[anthropology|anthropologists]] and [[archaeology|archaeologists]] believe that humans began domesticating animals and plants in the Middle East about 10-12,000 years ago. The earliest known civilization, the Sumerians, developed in Mesopotamia about 7,000 years ago, after humans had developed agriculture sufficiently. This is the same location where many of the early Biblical stories in [[Genesis]] are set. | |||

* [[Archaeopteryx]] is classified as late Jurassic, and dated by evolutionary dating methods at 150 million years. | |||
* [[Dinosaur]] is undoubtedly the most popular group of animals studied by paleontologists. | |||
* [[Plesiosaur]] is an extinct marine reptile that is found in strata identified as the Mesozoic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous Eras. | |||
* [[Pterosaur]] is not scientifically classified as a dinosaur but more like a flying lizard, they have unique characteristics that set them apart from reptiles, birds, and bats. | |||
* [[Mammoth]] is an extinct form of elephant. There are three different types of mammoths whose skeletons have been found in North America. | |||
* [[Mastodon]] | |||
== Paleobotany == | |||
: ''Main Article: [[Paleobotany]]'' | |||
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. | |||
