even though both are less that 5000 years old they are the two oldest-living organisms on the earth. their ages easlily fit the creationist point of view, but leave loose ends for the evolutionist. why arent their older tree or bigger reefs? with the evolutionist timeline, surely something is closer in age to their "millions of years" doesnt fit in to the evolution doesnt fit the facts, does it?
