The Cambrian Evidence That Darwin Failed to Comprehend

                   tion of different proteins shaping the different cell types in all the
                   species within the 50 phyla that appeared. Yet they are unable to ac-
                   count for even a single different cell type.
                        The evolutionist paleontologist Richard Fortey of London’s
                   Natural History Museum expresses this fact in these words:
                        Even if evidence for an earlier ori-
                        gin is discov-
                        ered, it re-
                        mains a
                        chal-
                        lenge to
                        explain
                        why so
                        many
                        animals
                        should have
                        increased in size
                        and acquired shells
                        within so short a time at
                        the base of the Cambrian. 139
                        Even assuming that these imag-
                   inary beneficial mutations did take
                   place, another difficulty arises regarding
                   natural selection—the second supposed evolu-
                   tionary mechanism proposed by evolutionists. In
                   order for new cell types to be functional, they must be
                   closely coordinated with one another. This requires that all
                   the systems giving rise to an organ must exist in perfect, effi-
                   cient form at the same moment. According to the theory of evolu-
                   tion, functional advantages will be favored and passed along by the
                   mechanism of natural selection, while non-functional proteins will
