The Cambrian Evidence That Darwin Failed to Comprehend

the fossil strata excavated in Chengjiang even contained
the first vertebrates and were so well preserved that it was
possible to distinguish all characteristics of the fossils. 57
Internal organs and even nerves could clearly be seen.
In the Chengjiang fossils, details existing nowhere else in
the world were crystal-clear. Even the water channels in
the bodies of creatures resembling jellyfish had been pre-
served.
Of these fossils discovered in China, the number of
species identified exceeded 100, and revealed the existence
of 37 phyla. Together with fossils discovered in other loca-
tions, this number of phyla rose to 50. Dr. Paul Chien, head
of the San Francisco University Biology department, who
studied the Cambrian rock beds in China, remarked on
their being:
. . . more phyla in the very, very beginning, where we found
the first fossils [of animal life], than exist now. 58
By itself, the sudden emergence of phyla and other bi-
ological categories with no forerunners behind them is a
fact that can reveal the invalidity of the theory of evolution.
Yet another piece of evidence here also makes perfectly
clear the invalidity of Darwinism: Compared with the pre-
sent day, there are more basic physical structures and few-
er species in the Cambrian. Organisms display fewer basic
physical structures than they did in the Cambrian, even
though there are more species. As you shall see in due
course, this definitively invalidates the Darwinist claim
that the number of phyla should increase over time and re-
veals that the theory of the origin of species is groundless
speculation.
