542,000,000 B.C. - 488,300,000 B.C. - The Cambrian Era
The Cambrian Explosion
Refers to the geologically sudden appearance of many new animal body plans about 530 million years ago. At this time, at least nineteen, and perhaps as many as thirty-five phyla of forty total, made their first appearance on earth within a narrow five- to ten-million-year window of geologic time. The Cambrian explosion thus marked a major episode of morphogenesis in which many new and disparate organismal forms arose in a geologically brief period of time. - Stephen C. Meyer
It’s called “creation”.
Everything they find offers clues. So, I guess, that presumes those becoming clued in were at first clueless.
Life did not just happen.
It was designed and spoken into existence.
Apparently CO2 and warm temperatures aren't so devastating after all.
I find it incredible how people come up with these dates, as if they are fact. They are guesses....theories.
Explosions tend to kill life.
If it were a snake it would bite them. God suddenly, very, very suddenly, created all things.
“clues to how life exploded on sea floor”
I thought it was depth charges and dynamite that made life explode on the sea floor.
“...and distant relatives of modern crabs, insects and spiders.”
Oops! There goes my seafood eating days!
