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?

vinslave nice point: When bees construct the hive, they use a very interesting method. They start to build the combs from different corners and proceed to meet at the center. At the end, there would be no disharmony or extra patches between the combs. The fact that this perfect plan, which even humans would not achieve without making complicated geometric calculations, is done by bees so easily is evidence that bees are guided by a special "inspiration".

Your Lord revealed to the bees: ‘Build dwellings in the mountains and the trees, and also in the structures which men erect. Then eat from every kind of fruit and travel the paths of your Lord which have been made easy for you to follow… (Surat an-Nahl: 68-69)

The reason why honeybees construct their combs in hexagonal form is that hexagon is the most productive storage method in comparison to other geometrical forms. Bees use the form by the help of which they can store the greatest amount of honey by using the smallest amount of material. Mathematicians were amazed to discover the detailed calculations of bees. Another miraculous aspect of bees is the unbelievable communication among them. The forager bees that look for a flower to produce honey go straight back to the hive when they find a food source. They tell other bees the angle and distance of the food source to the hive with a very special dance. Other bees which carefully observe the wags during the dance understand the position of the food source and locate it without any problem.

For millions of years, bees have been producing ten times much honey than their requirement. The only reason why these animals, which calculate everything down to the finest detail, make such an excessive production is to provide man with honey which contains "healing for mankind".

God states this duty of bees in the Qur'ân as follows:

From inside them comes a drink of varying colors, containing healing for mankind. There is certainly a Sign in that for people who reflect.
(Surat an-Nahl: 69)

Do not talk about knowledge with the foolish so that they deny you, nor with the ignorant so that they find you oppressive, but talk about it with those of its people whom you meet who will accept it and understand it.

Well first there were single celled organisms and it went from there they multiply like Rabbits (which by the way we wouldn't have if it wasn't for Evolution) I just have a hard time believe a story(cause it isn't anything more than that) that has been passed on for so many generations and rewritten by people who think their own way anyway, so even if the story is true is no more believable than a fable you were told as a child. Oh and a nothing thing, there were at least 7 Jesus stories before the one that everyone follows today. They all did basically the same thing. But they all Died out and I'm sure that given time, and people need to wise up or its not going to matter any way because we are all going to "take care" of each other anyway. With all these wars going? Come on you can't tell me that these aren't all religious... Every war has something to do with religion. But what you are saying is that you do believe in Evolution just Creative Evolution. So if it wasn't for your religion you'd think the same thing that a lot more people than you think do.

Of course not. The cambrian explosion is an era that lasted over 10 million years. Do you have any idea how much time that is? By geological scale, it's relatively short, (which is why it's called an explosion) but it's not like all those creatures showed up on the same day. During that time, conditions were probably just right for life to thrive and spread.

Yours is a well written and thought out argument. I Propose that Evolution is not a dangerous or blasphemous thing for the devout, something that should receive their "blows." "Evolution" is simply the physical process "Creationism" describes metaphorically. When God made Adam out of dust, for example, it's hauntingly evocative of one-celled organisms that were ultimately molded into man.
The passage of time is relative. What to God is 15 minutes could be a millenium to mortal man's perception of time.

Although compelling and insightful, I believe your observation does not constitute a blow to "Evolution," however.

I think the fatal flaw lies in the fossil records, which are a point in time admittedly, but NOT inclusive of all living things. Not all living things were fossilized, just select organisms, opportunistically, and in that conditions had to be just right for a fossil record to be preserved throughout such a vast amount of time.

If, for example, an organism was eaten and digested, which would redefine it, so to speak, it would most likely not be recognizable as once being the creature for which there would be a fossil record.

Also, many simple organisms where "fossilized" into petroleum based compounds, also rendering them unrecognizable in the anthromorphological sense of the word. I think I might have just invented a word, back there....

Fossil records are fascinating and your theory may ultimately prevail. But due to their fragility and comparative rarity, they appear comparable to the statistical concept of "random sampling" information, were you are not seeing the entire picture, only "snapshots" of "points in time."

You know, if you wanted detailed information about the Cambrian Explosion, you could have googled it, looked it up on any number of reputable sites or asked this question in the Biology section. And yet you're here.

Interesting that creation science has a problem with dating methods most of the time, but here they find them to be rock-solid (pun intended). The most likely explanation for the 'sudden' (probably thousands of generations, if not more) appearance of organisms in the fossil record is that pre-Cambrian Explosion organisms didn't fossilize well.

by looking at the organisms of the Cambrian Period we can take a guess at what the organisms in the Pre-Cambrian Period might have been like. animals of the early Cambrian Period were invertebrates and very few of them had an exoskeleton. so by taking that into consideration we can say animals of the Pre-Cambrian Period didnt have any sort of exoskeleton. its very rare to find any fossils of any animals that dont even have an exoskeleton. so its understandable why you cant find many fossils before the cambrian period because the structure of the animal didnt promote the formation of the fossil of the animal. have you ever seen a fossil of a jellyfish? no because they are mostly water with very little to fossilize. same thing happened here. you know a bit of evolution but what you have to do now is apply common sense to what you know.

Apparently Creationist don't take science. Where did you get your info. You have to have some solid part of an organism to get a fossil. Why do you think there are no fossils of dinosaur organs, just there bones! And any of the molucules that evoveld into the things that you stated wouldn't have left a fossil. why are Creationists so afraid of everyone else. We can prove where everything can come from with science, but can you prove to me that god put humans on this planet, and I'm talking hard irrefutable proof!

First off, go easy with the word "fact"

Now I will finish reading it...

Yeah I read a few other answers and hopefully you did too. Now that we all understand that the Cambrian Age was longer than three days can we go back to reality?

Hey, by the way, if evolution is false, that does not make creation true.

You are seriously mistaken and under-informed. Life did not "appear abruptly and in great diversity". Nor did extremely complex organs such as today's eyes pop into existence fully formed - they evolved over many, many years. If you want to strike a blow at Evolution, you'd best obtain the appropriate education in biology first.

I can answer, but I would be wasting pixels on you. You believe what you believe, and you will not let anything change that. If I had a time machine and took you back to life's beginnings, and reviewed the entire history of life on earth, you would still not believe what you had been shown is true. So go, wallow in your ignorance and self-deceit. I will not even try to stop you.

Seriously, understand evolution first before you attempt to debunk it.

www.evolutionhappens.net

Not only that but:

Realize what you are refuting. You are refuting the last 77 years of all biological work. You are refuting any and all DNA evidence. You are refuting everything we have learned about the brain, cancer, organs, surgery, the medical industry as a whole, and damned near everything in science by stating that evolution is crap. All our advances since 1930 have been based off it being the truth. What you are stating is everything we have learned since then is a lie.
