Life on earth appeared abruptly and in great diversity. This fact definitely refutes the claim that living things emerged in an evolutionary process.
When we look at the fossil record, we see that the oldest stratum of earth that contains fossils is that of the Cambrian. A great number of invertebrates appear in the Cambrian age, which is estimated to date back 500 million years. The interesting thing however, is that not a fossil has ever been found belonging to the pre-Cambrian Ages. This means that the living things that lived in the Cambrian Age emerged "abruptly".
The situation definitely debunks the theory of evolution, which maintains that living things evolved progressively. The abrupt appearance of living things without any ancestor means that they were created. The living beings that emerged in this period called the "Cambrian Explosion" are invertebrates like jellyfish, sponges, snails, and trilobites. These living things have very complex organisms. For example, trilobites have very complex eyes. Since such complex structures could not have been instantaneously evolved, they constitute strong evidence for creation. All these demonstrate that the Cambrian Explosion points to the "outset of creation".
Could this be a blow To The Claim Of The Evolution?
