The Cell in 40 Topics

The theory of evolution claims that living species gradually evolved from one an-
other. The fossil record, however, explicitly falsifies this claim. For example, in
the Cambrian period, some 550 million years ago, tens of totally distinct living
species emerged suddenly. These living beings depicted in the above picture
have very complex structures. This fact, referred to as the “Cambrian Explosion”
in scientific literature is plain evidence of creation.

If such animals ever really existed, there should be millions and
even billions of them in number and variety. More importantly, 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. 39

Darwin's Hopes Shattered

However, although evolutionists have been making strenuous
efforts to find fossils since the middle of the nineteenth century all
