Page 31 - The Cambrian Evidence that Darwin Failed to Comprehend

Darwin thought that the evidence necessary to prove his theory would be obtained
through future fossil discoveries. However, improvements in technology and advances
in the fields of genetics, biology, biochemistry and medicine, and the wide-ranging fos-
sil findings, all revealed facts that would totally eliminate his theory.

All that was obtained from the pre-Cambrian was a number of
single-celled organisms. There was no trace of any fossil similar to
Cambrian ones, or which could be regarded as their ancestors.
That the Cambrian strata exhibit a wide spectrum of such com-
plex living things is by itself sufficient to undermine Darwin’s fun-
damental claims concerning the origin of species. Darwin did not
live to witness these new fossil discoveries, which he would no
doubt have described as a tragedy for his theory. But these findings
did present a severe dilemma for his followers. Discoveries in the
Cambrian fossil beds shattered their claims regarding the origin of
species.
But what was the great difference between the Cambrian and
other previous eras? What was it about Cambrian organisms that so
worried evolutionists?
We may examine this question from various different angles:
