Horses and fruit bats came about during the Cambrian explosion? Dinosaurs and placental mammals were there during the Cambrian explosion? Wow are you confused.
There is also no scientific support for the idea that there was a universal flood some few thousand years ago and that all terrestrial animals evolved from common descent from these creatures deposited on Mt Ararat (long way for that poor armadillo to swim!).

Read my post again. The word “though” connotes my doubt that there was a “Cambrian explosion.” I am a young earth creationist.
www.answersingenesis.org is one of the places where young earth creationism is espoused. I’m convinced. I suggest (but obviously can’t command) that you check it out, and see for yourself.
Have a great day.
If God created the earth and the universe some few thousand years ago HE went through a lot of trouble to make it look much much older.
Starlight has traveled for hundreds of millions of light years before reaching Earth, some of it denoting stars that have never actually existed within the last six thousand years.
Antarctica was once in temperate latitudes, and one can find temperate archaic species (but no modern ones) buried beneath the ice. How did Antarctica move from temperate to polar latitudes within a few thousand years without ripping the planet apart? Why are only archaic temperate species found (Dinosaurs and such) but no modern temperate species?
Add to this the physics of atomic decay, the evidence of Geology, history, the fossil record, and many other independent lines of evidence and the case for a “young earth” is clearly only supported by haphazard Biblical interpretation and not Science.
