“intermediate form” fossils that Darwin imagined would be eventu-
ally discovered, the fact that emerged was a most surprising one for
Darwinists: All complex organisms thought to be half a billion years
old and more in fact belonged to the Cambrian Period.
Pre-Cambrian fossil beds gave up no specimens revealing any
transition to the Cambrian species. In the Cambrian Period, a stun-
ning complexity and variety emerged quite suddenly all of which
disappeared again after the Cambrian. This was really a most ex-
traordinary state of affairs.
However, the claims made by Darwin’s followers that there are
insufficient fossils, made as an excuse for the missing fossils in ques-
tion, were proved to be totally unfounded. The Harvard University
evolutionist paleontologist Stephen Jay Gould had no qualms about
making this admission:
The most famous such burst, the Cambrian explosion, marks the
inception of modern multicellular life. Within just a few mil-
lion years, nearly every major kind of animal anatomy
appears in the fossil record for the first time. .
. . The Precambrian record is now suffi-
ciently good that the old rationale
about undiscovered sequences
of smoothly transitional
forms will no longer
wash. 10
