Where did spiders (arachnids) come from? What was their origin? Clearly, the fossil record shows spiders have always been spiders^1,2 along with other chelicerates (a subphylum of the arthropods).

Animals designed to fly are classified into four groups: the extinct flying reptiles (pterosaurs), insects, mammals (bats), and birds. According to the creation model, bats and birds were created on Day 5 as bats and birds.

The lepidosaurs are a large and diverse group of land vertebrates that include the snakes and lizards. There are almost 12,000 species of these animals. But evolutionists still do not know where they came from. Vertebrate paleontologist Michael Benton stated, “The early history of squamates [snakes, lizards] is patchy,” and the debate of snake origin “is far from resolved.”¹

The octopus—an invertebrate—never fails to surprise researchers with its incredible abilities.^1,2
