The Cambrian Evidence That Darwin Failed to Comprehend
Stephen Jay Gould—who, together with Eldredge, formulated the
theory of punctuated equilibrium—makes an even more interesting
confession:
I regard the failure to find a clear “vector of progress” in life’s history
as the most puzzling fact of the fossil record. 21
But actually, for anyone viewing the facts objectively and thinking
logically, there is nothing surprising here at all. It’s perfectly natural
that the Earth provides no information at all about any transitional
process that never happened!
Only single-celled organisms have been recovered from pre-
Cambrian rock beds, because they were the only organisms living at
that time. The remains they left behind confirm this—as does our
knowledge of the features of the Earth and its atmosphere during that
time.
No evolution took place in the pre-Cambrian period, nor in the
eras that came after it, and fossils prove this in the clearest possible way.
Abundant fossils show that living things that existed millions of years
ago were complete and fully formed, each one a marvel of creation; and
that they were brought into being in a single moment, through the sub-
lime Might of Allah. Paleontology, which is the only science that
evolutionists have to rely on, has
proved the fact of creation and to-
tally invalidated the theory of evo-
lution. (For details, see The Transitional
Form Dilemma by Harun Yahya.)
Some of the advocates of evolution have accepted this.
However, it appears that it will take some considerable time for
