The Cambrian Evidence That Darwin Failed to Comprehend

er discovery of new Cambrian beds created a wave of information
contradicting Darwinism. Darwinists, already reeling from the find-
ings of molecular biology, were now under fire from paleontology.
Cambrian animals had emerged with already highly complex struc-
tures. All the phyla existing today appeared at that period. Their
numbers had decreased up to the present, rather than increasing.
Phyla had diversified before species did.
All these facts about the Cambrian explosion definitively re-
vealed the invalidity of Darwinist interpretations of natural history.
In the 1990s, another fact about the Cambrian struck
Darwinism from yet another direction, striking its mechanisms. This
was the “great complexity in little time” paradox, confirmed by the
use of zircon dating.
All the phyla in the animal world emerged within a mere 5 mil-
lion years. Indeed, James Valentine estimated that the phylum
Brachiopoda appeared in much less than 5 million years, probably in
less than 1 million years. 177 He even spoke of a time span of just hun-

In the same way that Burgess Shale life
forms had very different bodily struc-
tures from one another, they also had
very different life styles. No evolutiona-
ry mechanism can give rise to even a
single cell in any one of these organ-
isms. In the face of the Cambrian life
forms, Darwinism is bankrupt.
