Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar)

The fossils unearthed in
Cambrian rocks belonged to
complex invertebrate
species like snails, trilo-
bites, sponges, worms, jelly
fish, starfish, marine crus-
taceans and sea lilies. Most
interestingly, all of these
distinct species emerged all
of a sudden. For that reason,
this miraculous phenome-
non is referred to as the
“Cambrian Explosion” in
geological literature.

Lord Solly Zuckerman, one of the most famous and respected scien-
tists in the U.K., who carried out research on this subject for years and

studied Australopithecus fossils for 15 years, finally concluded, despite
being an evolutionist himself, that there is, in fact, no such family tree
branching out from ape-like creatures to man.
Zuckerman also made an interesting "spectrum of science" ranging
from those he considered scientific to those he considered unscientific.
According to Zuckerman's spectrum, the most "scientific"—that is, de-
pending on concrete data—fields of science are chemistry and physics.
After them come the biological sciences and then the social sciences. At the
far end of the spectrum, which is the part considered to be most "unscien-
tific," are "extra-sensory perception"—concepts such as telepathy and sixth
sense—and finally "human evolution." Zuckerman explains his reasoning:

We then move right off the register of objective truth into those
fields of presumed biological science, like extrasensory perception
or the interpretation of man's fossil history, where to the faithful
[evolutionist] anything is possible – and where the ardent believer
[in evolution] is sometimes able to believe several contradictory
things at the same time. 158
