Amber is tree resin that has hardened
over time in the earth's crust. Burmese "amber is found in sedimentary facies, greenish-grey
shale layers embedded in other sedimentary rocks like sand and siltstones, micritic limestone and various organic materials, as well
as thin layers of coal and amber bearing shale layers." [1] Occasionally, amber contains inclusions of small animals and plants that
became stuck in the resin when it was fresh and sticky. Amber becomes a time capsule for its inclusions providing much more minute
detail about the inclusions than if they were fossilized in rock. The age of the amber is always uncertain with claims for Lebanese
amber (95-45 million years (MY)), Burmese amber (99 MY), Siberian amber (80-115 MY), Canadian amber (70-80 MY), Baltic amber (35-40
MY), and Dominican amber (25-30 MY). [2] [3] These dates are speculative depending often on circular reasoning such as relative dating
based on assumed evolutionary relationships of the fossils found. Also, some dates are derived from questionable radiometric dating methods.
Fossil
insects that are supposedly tens of millions of years old are remarkably similar to present day insects. This statis of insects rather
than supporting macro evolution calls its gradual progression assumption "from very different and often much simpler ancestors" into
question.
