that these were actually multi-celled organisms with certain complex
characteristics. Various Dickinsonia specimens were found, as well as
Kimberella fossils, which resembled teardrops in shape and had scal-
loped edges. The remains left behind by Kimberella showed that these
creatures were capable of movement. In other words, they did not live
and reproduce in one place, as did the single-celled creatures before
them. They had organs and extensions that permitted them to walk. 30
Ediacaran fossils found in Newfoundland had brush-like appendages
rather resembling hairs, and these creatures consisted of various colo-
nies. Each of these animals’ hair-like extensions was divided into at
least three separate parts. The end parts extended forwards. Such mi-
croscopic extensions could be seen in even the smallest of these crea-
31
tures. Therefore, Ediacaran life forms were not merely simple collec-
tions of fluid-filled cells, as some scientists imagine.
Evolutionists made enormous efforts in order to establish an evo-
lutionary scenario for how these very different life forms all emerged in
the same period; and set all these fossils out in different orders.
However, those found in Namibia were incompatible with those dis-
covered in Scotland, and those found in Russia failed to match those
discovered in England. The efforts to link these fossils—which failed to
constitute a coherent whole among themselves—with Cambrian life
forms represented a severe disappointment for evolutionists. No fossil
evidence linked Cambrian life forms to any organisms that had existed
before them. The remains of these perfectly preserved pre-Cambrian
fossils refuted the long history of gradual change predicted by Darwin’s
theory. 32
Simon Conway-Morris admitted this evident fact in these words:
Nevertheless, it remains true that the overall differences between the
faunas of Ediacaran and Cambrian age are much more striking than
any similarities. These differences cannot be simply be explained by
the dilution of an Ediacaran component by a crowd of Cambrian new-
