Ediacaria, Cyclomedusa and Hiemalora were not worms.

There were a few weird fossils which never made it to the Cambrian so they are irrelevant to the discussion. As I said, all this Vendian stuff had been discovered by the time that Eldredge and Gould gave up on Darwinian evolution - and for good reason. In fact, the latest major discovery in the field has been the discovery of a vertebrate fish in the Cambrian adding to the number of phyla which have no ancestry before the Cambrian. In other words, the doo doo is getting deeper, not shallower for evolution.

I have a question that's been nagging me for some time: What the heck is the Cambrian "explosion" supposed to prove, anyway?

Ah, the g3k tap dance. You specifically said the only pre-Cambrian multicellulars were worms (see my above post for the exact quote). Now that you've been shown to be grossly in error, you change your story.
