"It can be argued that the Cambrian "explosion" was quick, if you think millions of year is quick;-)"

The other issue with the Cambrian explosion is that 'evolution' appears to have occurred 'from the top down' so to speak. In other words, complex creatures suddenly appear with no fossil evidence of any transition from previously existing life forms. Then, after that, small changes occur in those complex creatures. (Evolutionary theory would claim a 'bottom to top' formation of life, i.e. that the small changes would result in complex creatures over millions of years.)

"There are no serious questions about evolution."

Sorry, but I've just listed one.

"Please list your serious "questions" for discussion"

As I mentioned earlier to a number of individuals on this thread, if you are truly interested, there's plenty of reading material available. "The Case for a Creator" by Lee Strobel would be a start.

" (I have had a hard day and need a good laugh-thank you)"

Ah, so you really aren't interested. Don't want anyone to upset your preconceived notions, now do you?

Evolution does not deal with the concept of "complexity"-just survival. Parasites are less "complex" I would imagine in your view than free living worms, but evidence suggests free living worms came first (unless you are suggesting that God created parasites inside animals at the time of special creation. I don't see any Bible verse that suggests such a notion.)

Your top down bottom up idea is interesting. You are suggesting that worms evolved from Man?

s-"There are no serious questions about evolution."

"Sorry, but I've just listed one."

I said SERIOUS.

I knew you would give me a good laugh. Thank you.

Why is it that creationists, like communists, project their world view to others?
