When you hear the word “fossil”, you might think of old bones and footprints, rocks and dirt, or cool dinosaurs. But do ants come to mind?
In 2011, a man discovered the fossil of a giant queen ant belonging to the genus Titanomyrma. This fossilized ant is a little over 2 inches long, about the size of a hummingbird! Many creation scientists believe that these ants from thousands of years ago reached such large sizes because the pre-flood world had warmer temperatures and higher oxygen levels.
Discoveries like this remind us that the world is full of patterns, variety, and design that point us to our Creator, whose brilliance and wisdom exceed the wonder of even the most amazing fossils we uncover!
