Perhaps the most notable burst of new species is the Cambrian Explosion. About 500 million years ago, there was a brief 10 million year period in which 50% to 80% of all known phyla ever known to exist all of a sudden appeared in the archeological record. 10 million years seems like a long time. But if natural selection demands a gradual speciation to have occurred across billions of years, then half of it occurring within 10 million years makes the math of natural selection off by a factor of 1,000. Even Darwin himself wrote about it in his The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection or the Preservation of Favored Races in the Struggle for Life. However, he believed that future archeological discoveries would fill in the gaps and prove his theory correct. The opposite happened. It turns out that we learned after Darwin that the amount of speciation that occurred in the Cambrian Explosion (with less speciation occurring at other times) was even more profound than was known in Darwin's time.
The Bible was right. The anti-Christians are wrong.
The root of “yom” refers to a period where it’s hot, i.e. the day. Certainly can be our 24-hour day.
