Evolution

Crabs have remained essentially unchanged since their first appearance on earth. Even evolutionists admit they are stumped as to why crabs don't seem to have evolved. In an interview with the late well-known zoologist–biologist Ernst Mayr, Mayr was quoted as saying:

“

In evolutionary biology we have species like horseshoe crabs. The horseshoe crab goes back in the fossil record over two hundred million years without any major changes. So obviously they have a very invariant genome type, right? Wrong, they don't. Study the genotype of a series of horseshoe crabs and you'll find there's a great deal of genetic variation. How come, in spite of all this genetic variation, they haven't changed at all in over two hundred million years while other members of their ecosystem in which they were living two hundred million years ago are either extinct or have developed into something totally different? Why did the horseshoe crabs not change? That's the kind of question that completely stumps us at the present time. [1]

”

Creationists believe the lack of evidence for crab evolution is because crabs did not evolve. They were created as crabs in the beginning. [2]
