Well, that is what science falsely so called (1 Tim 6:20) would have us believe. In a direct attack on the homeland of Creationism’s leading light, Ray Comfort, and in the belief that “The bigger the lie, the more likely it is to be believed” a ludicrous story emerges of tiny dots in a lump of stone being absolute proof that your grandfather was not a monkey but a microbe who was Australian!
Now I don’t know about you, but in a world where sane, God-fearing people know that the Earth was created on 23rd October, 4,004 years before the birth of Our Savior, this statement by tax-payer funded atheists is a slap in the face and runs counter to all that we hold dear and know to be The Revealed Truth (Gen:1:1).
More than this though, what good does it do to spread such lies? How does it help our fellow man on his way to Paradise and eternal life above the clouds at the Right Hand of God?
What morality has a bacterium? How could it be possible that the earth is not filled with savages running around like the beasts of the field if this is true?
And look who is saying this!!! The Brits and Australians and it is publicized by the Canadians! What does that tell you? Yes, it is a direct attack on the world's leading Christian state, the USA by the Queen of England who has never accepted the beating her soldiers took at the hands of our patriots in 1776!
Anyway, here’s the story for what it is worth: it is simple to pick holes in it.

'Oldest' fossils reveal life 3.4 billion years ago
Sulphur-eating bacteria lived in hot, oxygen-poor early ocean
The preserved cell walls of bacteria that lived in oceans without oxygen 3.4 billion years ago are believed to be the oldest fossils ever found, Australian and British scientists claim.
The microscopic fossils were found in Western Australia among belts of layered rock 3.3 billion to 3.5 billion years old, said a study led by David Wacey at the University of Western Australia and published Sunday in the journal Nature Geoscience.
The fossils were embedded in a sandstone layer from a shallow-water beach that represents one of the Earth’s oldest preserved shorelines.
"At last we have good, solid evidence for life over 3.4 billion years ago," Martin Brasier, an earth sciences professor at Oxford University in the U.K. who co-authored the study, said in a news release describing the find as "the oldest fossils on Earth."[…]
Three and a half billion years ago, the oceans were a steamy 40 to 50 C. They churned with strong currents and covered most of the surface of the Earth, exposing very little land. Volcanic activity was violent and widespread, supplying large amounts of sulphur. Meanwhile, oxygen levels remained very low, largely due to the absence of plants and algae.
Bacteria that can draw their energy from sulphur instead of oxygen are common in volcanic environments today, and scientists had previously found rocks containing possible chemical evidence that sulphur-metabolizing bacteria existed almost 3.5 billion years ago.[…]
