been imagined—which made matters even more difficult for evolu-
tionists.
Ironically, Walcott’s concern had been completely justified. The
flow of information about the Cambrian explosion had an explosive
effect on Darwin’s theory. The greater our understanding of the
Cambrian explosion, the clearer the hollowness of Darwin’s funda-
mental assumptions became.
So far, this book has examined the pre-Cambrian Period and its
life forms. In the next part, we shall be examining the Cambrian, in
which an even more dazzling variety of life appeared. For that pur-
pose, we shall consider the course of biological diversity in the pre-
Cambrian and later periods, to provide a general idea about the
emergence of living categories. We shall then examine the
Cambrian’s extraordinary complexity and see how these creatures’
superior systems and structures pose a major dilemma for evolu-
tionists.
After the chapter on complexity, we will compare the facts re-
vealed by the fossil record with the assumptions of Darwinism and
see why Darwinism is now a bankrupt theory.
But at this point, we can summarize the emergence of phyla—
the main categories of organisms:
1. For billions of years before the Cambrian, the Earth con-
tained only single-celled organisms and a few multi-celled ones
with no complex internal systems. The number of phyla constituted
by these organisms was only three.
2. The many phyla alive during the Cambrian world appeared
suddenly and with flawless physical systems in a space of a mere 5
to 10 millions years. At the end of the Cambrian, 50 phyla had
emerged, and with one exception, all phyla had taken their places in
the fossil record.
3. In terms of animals’ main bodily structures, stasis dominat-
