Great find Doc. Eventually the Cambrian Explosion is going to found to be nothing more than a puff. It looks like that now because there wasn't much to fossilize in pre-Cambrian animals. With time we will find the diversity in the late Pre-Cambrian was quite high.

It's been a bad year for creationists. First, the Dover litigation went spectacularly against them. Kitzmiller et al. v Dover Area School District et al. Then (O the horror!) Evolution of 'irreducible complexity' explained. Then, yet another creationist gap got filled in: Newly found species fills evolutionary gap between fish and land animals. The Wall Street Journal had a great article about these last two items: Two New Discoveries Answer Big Questions In Evolution Theory. Then, various religious figures spoke out against them: Creationism dismissed as 'a kind of paganism' by Vatican's astronomer. Then the UK moved against them: UK Government agrees creationism cannot be taught in science. Then one of the most prestigious scientific bodies in the world spoke out against them: Royal Society statement on evolution, creationism and intelligent design. Now the fabled Cambrian Explosion is fizzling out. How much worse can it get?

I think the Cambrian Explosion should be referred to by it's more factual name: the Cambrian Explosion of Fossils.
