"The Cambrian Period (543 million to 490 million years ago) marked the sudden appearance of complex multicellular macroscopic organisms."

Doesn't sound like evolution to me. Sounds more like GOD!.....

Well this finding shows that there really wasn't an explosion of complex multicellular life. The Cambrian explosion seems to be the appearance of organisms that were more easily fossilized. That doesn't mean there weren't complex organisms before the Cambrian Explosion. This very exciting finding shows complex multicellular life predates the Cambrian explosion. We now have data from an epoch where we didn't have it before. This is fantastic news!

Don't bank on what you just said, because the article is saying that the "sudden appearance" increasingly looks like it's not sudden. Complex multicellular macroscopic organisms already existed, and that's what this fossil discovery shows; it just happens that they didn't have bodies that fossilized well.

I'd imagine that once hardshells starting appearing, it was such an incredible adaption that the mutation spread quickly, since the softbodied animals were now the equivalent of giant sea marshmallows. Looks like that's the secret of the "explosion".

So you're saying God said, "Over the course of the next 50 million years, let there be a sudden appearance of complex multicellular macroscopic organisms with hard parts (as opposed to earlier macroscopic soft organisms)?"
