Creatures do not evolve for two billion years

Scientists have discovered a species of deep-sea microorganism that does not seem to evolve after two billion years.

Researchers investigating sulfur bacteria (sulfur bacteria) are stored in a rock in Australia's western coastal waters, dating to about 1.8 billion years old. This microorganism is very small in size and cannot be seen with the naked eye.

The results showed that bacteria taken from fossilized rock looked like bacteria in the same region 2.3 billion years ago. The bacteria are also completely similar to the modern sulfur bacteria found in Chilean coastal mud.

"It's amazing that life has not evolved over two billion years, nearly half of Earth's history. Evolution is a fact, so the status of non-evolution needs to be explained," Science World Report quoted. J. Williams, Schopf, member of the study, said.

Biological law is not evolutionary unless changing the physical or biological environment. In the above case, the environment in which the basic microorganisms live remains the same for three billion years.

"These microorganisms adapt well to simple, very stable physical and biological environments. If they live in an environment that does not change, but still evolve, then our understanding of the progression process. Darwin's chemistry is seriously flawed , " Schopf said.
