what is it about the burgess shale that contradicts evolution?

[count-your-change]

The Burgess Shale is where paleontologists say we see an example of the the Cambrian “explosion” of life.

Evolution theory says different animal and plant species form gradually by natural selection and mutations that are favorable to survival yet all these phyla, Brachiopoda
Eldoniaoida, Arthropoda, Chordata, Ctenophora, Ctenophora,
Annelida, for example, appear suddenly and with no transitional forms and without antecedents contra Darwinian theory.

Attempts have been made to write off this sudden appearance of varity and novelty of life as either nonexistent or of no real importance since it has always been a contradiction of Darwinism.
