The Cambrian Period

When we examine the earth strata, we

see that life on Earth appeared
suddenly. Many diverse living species
emerged abruptly and fully in the
Cambrian Period. This finding
is compelling evidence

for creation.
A still extant
example of the
Cambrian
Period: he deepest stratum of earth that contains fossils of
Nautilus complex living things is the "Cambrian", which has
T an estimated age of 520 to 530 million years. The
fossils unearthed in Cambrian rocks belonged to complex
invertebrate species like snails, trilobites, sponges, worms,
jelly fish, starfish, crustaceans and sea lilies. Most
interestingly, all of these distinct species emerged all of a
sudden without any predecessor.
Richard Monastersky, the editor of Earth Sciences, which is one of the
popular journals of evolutionist literature, admits this fact that put
evolutionists into a quandary:
A half-billion years ago the remarkably complex forms of animals that we see today
suddenly appeared. This moment, right at the start of the earth's Cambrian Period, some
550 million years ago, marks the evolutionary explosion that filled the seas with the earth's
first complex creatures. The large animal phyla of today were present already in the early
Cambrian and they were as distinct from each other as they are today. 22
How these distinct living species with no common ancestors could have emerged is a
question that remains unanswered by evolutionists. The Oxford zoologist Richard
Dawkins, one of the foremost advocates of the evolutionary theory in the world, makes
this confession:

COMPLEX SYSTEMS
Most of the life forms that
emerged all of a sudden in the
Cambrian Period had complex
systems like eyes, gills,
circulatory system, and
advanced physiological
structures no different from
their modern counterparts.
