Absent an environmental pressure, a species is unlikely to evolve much. Sharks have remained relatively unchanged in tens of millions of years.
And what magic kept sharks and lil' tree shrews from enviromental pressure, or even competition? No magic at all -- what they show is that evolution is not quite de-facto natural. That is, evolution is not an assumed fact of nature. Judge Jones is wrong and so are Darwinists who want purely naturalistic evolution to be a "fact".
So have cockroaches - Oops, I forgot they have only been around for 6000 years.
And I guess the petrified forest (which took tens of thousands of years for mineral deposits to replace the wood cells) must just be an illusion.
