IMHO, the Cambrian Explosion (and similar "explosions" like that in the archaeological record) is a glaring problem in the math of natural selection.

When repeated experiments on a scientific theory show that the model's math is off by a factor over 1,000, it's time to reduce the theory to a hypothesis or lower. The prediction by Darwinists is that archaeology would show a gradual speciation across billions of years from simple organisms to the advanced organisms we have today. But the Cambrian Explosion event recorded by archaeologists show that 50-80% of all known phyla sprang up into existence within a relatively brief 2 to 3 million year time frame about 500 million years ago. https://reasons.org/explore/publications/articles/the-great-unconformity-and-the-cambrian-explosion-conform-to-the-genesis-1-creation-account. Most evolution ("evolution" not necessarily being natural, but possible intelligently made like software evolves) occurred way too rapidly for natural selection to be the cause.

To: Tell It Right

Genesis 1

20 And God said, “Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the vault of the sky.” 21 So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living thing with which the water teems and that moves about in it, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 22 God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth.” 23 And there was evening, and there was morning—the fifth day.

24 And God said, “Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: the livestock, the creatures that move along the ground, and the wild animals, each according to its kind.” And it was so. 25 God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.

Well, they have abandoned the original Darwinian hypothesis of natural selection and random mutation alone creating a gradual diversification of life. They don’t necessarily like to advertise that to the public very often, or teach it to students in lower level courses, but they abandoned that like 6 decades ago.

Now there are various competing models, like Stephen Gould’s “punctuated evolution”, or Lynn Margulis’ symbiotic theory of evolution that seek to keep the pure materialistic nature of Darwin’s theory while trying to plug up some of the most glaring holes.
