No Evolution - Page 3

George

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cambrian_explosion

gives a balanced account.

There has been life on earth for nearly 5 billion years and until around 530 millon years ago there were only simple life forms. bt all of the sudden in a period of only around 5 million years, fossils show that complex animal appeared all at the same time. How did this big explosion of life take place? Is evolution not like the steady growth of a tree growing branches which grow other branches?

I wonder why the evolutionists are ignoring this question?

"I wonder why the evolutionists are ignoring this question?"

Thanks George for giving me the challange of getting more information through wikipedia. However I doubt if you ever read the reference you gave me. It is full of information about the Cambrian evolution. However your claim that evolutionists ignore the question is not true. Darwin himself considered it, dedicated a big junk of his writing to it and even though he never reached a satifactory answer, he sure did not ignore it. So too are a host of all promiment evolutionist scientists.

I'll have to admit that no annonymous solution has been found yet to this puzzle. But may I ask what your opinion is on the matter. Are you proposing to introduce a more complex being capable of engeneering the explosion? a god or god's perhaps. Beware of god of the gap trap.

Bio, I meant the evolutionists in here.

I am aware there have been many 'explanations' but none of them make much sense. The fossils from the cambrian age show physical evidence refuting the Theory of Evolution.

There are also Audiobooks versions of these materials. Listen and you'll never doubt again. You might even graduate from your fence-sitting agnosticism to full atheism for theist.

Agnosticism isn't fence sitting; it's a complete acceptance of the scientific method. Pu on your thinking cap and read some Huxley before you believe everything that comes from an atheist. I love Dawkins writrings but it's for his biological explanations, not his philosophizations. His other books such as TEP, TSG, and TBW are better.

The "Cambrian Explosion": There is nothing to ignore. There are many articles written about this as well. There are more than one reason that worked together. Examples would be increased oxygen, development of certain genetic characteristics that lead to faster competition, and just the fact that it took a while for the animals to develope enough "hard parts" like bones to make an impact in the fossil record. Nothing about it refutes evolution. If you believe that you just don't get it. It is just something that hasn't been completely explained yet. Nothing about that shows it cannot be completely explained. And by the way, not all phyla appeared in the Cambrian age. Quite a few were post-Cambrian.

This isn't even worth addressing. No "man track" claims have ever withstood scientific scrutiny.
