Prehistoric ecosystem found in Israeli cave

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israeli scientists said on Wednesday they had discovered a prehistoric ecosystem dating back millions of years.

The discovery was made in a cave near the central Israeli city of Ramle during rock drilling at a quarry. Scientists were called in and soon found eight previously unknown species of crustaceans and invertebrates similar to scorpions.

“Until now eight species of animals were found in the cave, all of them unknown to science,” said Dr Hanan Dimantman, a biologist at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem…

… “Every species we examined had no eyes which means they lost their sight due to evolution,” said Dimantman.

Holy cripes! I wonder what Dr. Dino would say about that! Millions of years? Evolution? Can’t be. I bet Jeebus went to this cave (maybe after he raised Lazarus?), tossed in a couple of blind crawfish, then sealed it up with the the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch… Leaving it there to test our faith!
