Fossil - Chronicler of Nature

Fossil - Chronicler of Nature

 Dr Abe V Rotor

Fossil in acrylic on canvas by AVRotor 2011

You’re the Creator’s emissary,

blueprint of phylogeny;

what enshrined you in a rock,

is more than fate or luck;

but a testimony of creation,

by design or evolution.

You’re a chronicler of nature,

the rise and fall of every creature;

more than a fossil but monument

of God’s supreme moment;

revealing through natural history,

the world's greatest mystery. ~

Sometime in the first billion years, life appeared on the earth's surface. Slowly, the fossil record indicates, living organisms climbed the ladder from simple to more advanced forms. - Robert Jastrow
