'''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. | '''Paleobotany''' is involved with the study of ancient plants.
