Fossils Fossils 1.
Fossils are the remains or traces of once-living organisms.
We are very familiar with coal, which is composed largely of fossilised plant material.

Significant contributions were made by Bible-believers towards understanding the true nature of fossils. Fossils witness to the discontinuity , the complexity and the stability of past life forms. 2.1 Fossils show discontinuities between body forms.
