Reconstruction of the world’s first flower (Image Credit: Hervé Sauquet & Jürg Schönenberger)

Scientists have long known that the world’s first flower bloomed between 250 million and 140 million years ago, during the Cretaceous period when dinosaurs dominated the earth. The single mutation was so successful that flowering plants, or Angiosperms, now make up almost 90% of all plant species, far outnumbering seed plants like conifers, that appeared on earth much earlier, between 350 million and 310 million years ago. The emergence of flowers not only made the world more beautiful and vibrant but also led to the evolution of bees and other pollinating insects. Hence, it is important to understand how they may have evolved over the years.

              Earth is formed with a various amount of chemicals and thus is a chain reactions, The earth can't just form out of nowhere and has to be a stage of evolutions, Human beings also cannot appear from mid-air and has to be a slow evolution stage involved, It takes little cells to join and collapse on each other in order to make a living thing, If earth has never been there for at least a billion years, Human kind will not be existing.

              Eh. I don't believe in the earth existing for millions of years or evolution. Its pretty fake; all assumptions and not true facts.
