Not being able to find answers to the question of how earth came to
overflow with thousands of different animal species, evolutionists posit
an imaginary period of 20 million years before the Cambrian Period to
explain how life originated and "the unknown happened". This period
is called the "evolutionary gap". No evidence for it has ever been found
and the concept is still conveniently nebulous and undefined even to-
day.
In 1984, numerous complex invertebrates were unearthed in
Chengjiang, set in the central Yunnan plateau in the high country of
southwest China. Among them were trilobites, now extinct, but no less
complex in structure than any modern invertebrate.
The Swedish evolutionist paleontologist, Stefan Bengston, explains
the situation as follows:
If any event in life's history resembles man's creation myths, it is this sud-
den diversification of marine life when multicellular organisms took over
as the dominant actors in ecology and evolution. Baffling (and embar-
rassing) to Darwin, this event still dazzles us. 94

The sudden appearance of these complex living beings with no pre-
decessors is no less baffling (and embarrassing) for evolutionists today
than it was for Darwin 135 years ago. In nearly a century and a half, they
have advanced not one step beyond the point that stymied Darwin.
As may be seen, the fossil record indicates that living things did not
evolve from primitive to advanced forms, but instead emerged all of a
