The pre-Flood world thousands of years ago was unlike the world of today.¹ Unfamiliar animals and plants were common, and there were a lot of them.

Creation scientists maintain that if something is living, then it’s automatically complex. This applies to organisms ranging from a single bacterium (a prokaryote, such as E. coli) to a blue whale (a mammal composed of untold trillions of sophisticated eukaryotic cells).

There’s no doubt that animals in God’s creation have iconic features. The question is, did these features evolve or were they created that way from the beginning?
