Cambrian Fossil Intensifies Evolutionary Conundrum
by Brian Thomas, M.S. *
New fossil finds further verify one of evolution's biggest problems: the Cambrian explosion. According to evolutionary reckoning, a massive explosion of new life supposedly spawned dozens of brand-new fully formed body plans about 530 million years ago. How could so many novel body plans emerge in such a short time while today's emergence rate of new body plans is zero? Details from newly discovered Canadian fossil fish intensify this Cambrian conundrum.1
Very few fossils show up in rock layers below the Cambrian—some sponges, cnidarians, a mollusk, what look like worm trails, and several fossils now reclassified as non-animals, known as the Ediacaran fauna. Then, suddenly, most of the basic animal forms occur in Cambrian rocks, including echinoderms (e.g., starfish), various arthropods including shrimp and sea scorpions, clams, brachiopods, annelid worms, and chordates—a group of animals including vertebrates like fish.

Genesis.......
This, of course, is just one more inconvenient set of facts for university liberals to ignore.
Ancient Aliens brought them on a Space Ark?
Visitors from the distant planet Africanus Thesaurus.....according to Louis Farraklown...
Such a hypothesis is “preferable” to them
over the revealed Word.
More computer models that have no connection with reality?
This, of course, is just one more inconvenient set of facts for university liberals to ignore.
If libtards give up darwinism, they would have to give up secular humanism,which means giving up subjectivism and acting of feelings,moral permissiveness,alternative lifestyles,experimental lifestyles, pluralism, diversity, cultural equivalency, and socialism.
Cambrian life was still unlike almost everything alive today. Although several phyla appear to have diverged in the Early Cambrian or before, most of the phylum-level body plans appear in the fossil record much later (Budd and Jensen 2000). Using number of cell types as a measure of complexity, we see that complexity has been increasing more or less constantly since the beginning of the Cambrian (Valentine et al. 1994).Major radiations of life forms have occurred at other times, too. One of the most extensive diversifications of life occurred in the Ordovician, for example (Miller 1997).
There you go using reality to combat Mr. Thomas M.S. and his arm waving assertions. Seriously, if his test for science is “I don’t get it therefore it’s false” then please revoke his degree.
The fossil record shows multiple episodes of creation and destruction.
It was “Q” along with Picard.

The evolutionary model still answers more questions with fewer problems than anything the ICR has offered.
It also ignores that the simplest form which gets the job done just might be the most advanced.
I know it’s selfish of me but please don’t dissuade these folks entirely, I look forward to these posts every week or so as wonderful entertainment. Thanks.
A 10 percent shift in the age of some event from 530 million years ago, does not advance the case for asserting that everything began in 4004 BC.
I’m a creationist, just not a young earther.
I believe in God and creation as documented in Genesis, I think it is an abbreviated account of what God has been doing.
Believe what you like but look up what an endogenous retrovirus is and how it underpins the verifiable science of genetics and the common descent of species from predecessor species. It’s not a computer model and its really not open to serious question.
