Page 217 - The Cambrian Evidence that Darwin Failed to Comprehend

HARUN YAHYA

According to Darwin, life must have originated from a single ancestor, and species
must have formed through small, gradual changes. The concept of the tree of life,
in which a single phylum broadens and develops, was based on this thesis.
However, Darwin’s tree of life was a deception. Fifty different phyla, including those
in existence today, have revealed themselves right from the start in the Cambrian
fossil record. Darwin’s tree of life has thus been chopped down!

by the emergence of higher taxa and eventually, phyla. Therefore,
the number of phyla should increase with time. Therefore, taxa
should follow a “bottom-up” course in their appearance in the fos-
sil record. If we think of the tree of life as a cone, then the course of
biological variation over time should be one of “increasing diversi-
ty.” Therefore, the cone of diversity should assume a V shape.
However, the fossil record shows that these expectations of
Darwinism are fundamentally incorrect:

Refutation of Darwin No. 1: Taxa follow a top-down course in
the fossil record, not a bottom-up one. And phyla emerged first!
The fact revealed by the fossil record is that first phyla came in-
to being, followed by the emergence of lower taxa such as species.
