An image of Huxley's letter is above. As Darwin's "Bulldog" he was committed to tearing down a belief in Christianity (and a Creator). This is the fruit of a belief in the religio-philosophical concepts of evolution. Evolution is not a theory-see section on religion/philosophy/science on this website. Also, see the book The Long War Against God by Henry Morris (link below).

The upper end of the Dead Sea viewed from Jordan. The Jordan River, as it empties into the Dead Sea can be seen as a light blue line in the mid-right side of the photo. The hills upon which Jerusalem sits are in the haze in the background. This view is part of the area of the Bible.(photo jgl)
Studies have show genetic similarities in comparison between fossil forms and living forms of the Ginkgo as well as variation between living forms. This is expected among created life forms that are now falling apart due to mutational changes, but the stasis is not expected in evolutionary senarios. “The living species Ginkgo biloba is phylogenetically isolated, has a relictual distribution, and is morphologically very similar to Mesozoic and Cenozoic congenerics. To investigate what adaptations may have allowed this lineage to persist with little or no morphological change for over 100 Myr…” D.L. Royer Paleobiology 29(1):84-104. 2003 “Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis is a valuable tool in studying inter- and intra-specific genetic variations, patterns of gene expression, and for the identification of specific genes using nearly isogenic variants. Here we used RAPD analysis to study the genetic variation in Ginkgo biloba grown in the eastern United States. … we observed a high degree of relatedness among plants grown in certain localities although significant genetic variation may exist in the species, and could be a possible explanation for the observed variations in the efficacy of medications derived from G. biloba extract….” R. Kuddus et al Genome, 2002, 45(1): 8-12, Living Fossils remain a great problem for evolutionists. There have been attempts made to deny stasis stating that there are genetic differences among fossil and living forms but the basic form remains the same. Even today there are at least three variants in one study:
"Our results support the presence of three morphologically distinct forms, which will be referred to herein as T. newberryi, T. longicaudatus 'short,' and T. longicaudatus 'long.' "..."The three forms were morphologically distinct for multiple characters and molecular analyses showed large differences in DNA nucleotide sequence and the presence of multiple unique amino acid substitutions in each form." (Journal of Crustacean Biology, Volume 31, Issue 3, 1 July 2011) Yet, they remain within the same basic structure of the life form. This is variation and not evolution, e.g. transformation. Fossil forms found across continents and sometimes in different designated strata argues not only for the concept of Pangea but also for the concept of worldwide flooding. (See other info in geology section of this website.) These data can be understood within context of the narrative of the Noah Flood.
