The theory of evolution maintains that species gradually evolved from one another.
Yet the fossil record clearly refutes this claim. For instance, in the Cambrian Period
that began 530 million years ago, dozens of very different living species emerged sud-
denly. These life forms, depicted in the illustration, had very complex structures. This
fact, known to geologists as the “Cambrian Explosion,” is clear proof of Creation.

If such animals ever really existed, there should be millions
and even billions of them in number and variety. More important-
ly, the remains of these strange creatures should be present in the
fossil record. In The Origin of Species, Darwin explained:

If my theory be true, numberless intermediate varieties, linking most
closely all of the species of the same group together must assuredly
have existed... Consequently, evidence of their former existence
could be found only amongst fossil remains. 158
