“Snowball Earth” is one of the hypotheses proposed in order to account for the
sudden variety of life on Earth in evolutionary terms. According to this hypothesis,
ice ages each lasting some 10 million years occurred during an interval between
750 and 590 million years ago. Glaciers, up to 1 kilometer (0.621 mile) thick alleg-
edly reached as far as the equator and turned the Earth into a snowball. It is then
alleged that at the end of these ice ages, sudden global warming took place and all
Earth hypothesis and the Cambrian explosion, merely a chronologi-
cal link between the two. The explosion took place after—as evolu-
tionists claim—the hypothetical ice ages ended.
In short, any attempt to link the Snowball Earth hypothesis and
the origin of multi-celled organisms has no scientific foundation.
Evolutionist advocates of the hypothesis are following an empty be-
lief. This article on the subject, published on the BBC’s website, is an
indication:
There are some tantalising geological clues that show this theory may
be true but the problem is, the clues and the Snowball Earth theory de-
fy the laws of nature. 130
It is of course irrational to accept so-called clues opposed to the
