Cambrian explosion

The Cambrian era which can also be known as the Paleozoic era was a result of the period known as “Snowball Earth” that took place over 700 million years ago. The earth had frozen over for more than 200 million years, covering the entire surface with ice a mile long thick in length, killing off all species except for tiny micro organisms, but finally the ice layer on the earth exploded. The layer exploded from the volcanic activity deep beneath the icy surface, but when it finally did explode, it

overspill from two post-Flood lakes. (Creation Today, n.d.) Obviously, all of this evidence creates major problems for evolution, but is fully explained by Noah’s Flood. One of the biggest pieces of evidence for the Flood is the Cambrian explosion. The Cambrian explosion is taught by evolutionist to be a sudden burst of evolution caused by an increase in favorable environments. An evolutionist article states, “Fossils provide solid evidence that organisms from the past are not the same as those

Jonathan Sarfati wrote in his book, Refuting Evolution, that Christians often rely on “facts of science to support their [views]” (Sarfati 15). Shane Idleman, the founder and lead pastor of Westside Christian Fellowship, also reiterated the fact that a Christian will look at the evidence shown to them, compare it to known scientific facts, and then confirm it with God’s truth in the Bible (Idleman). Furthermore, Sarfati told his readers of what the disagreement between evolution and creation truly

where oxygen began building up. Before that, for 2.3 billion years, only 0.002 % of oxygen was available. From this point, oxygen began building up, but it was still too insignificant for any complex life forms to exist. It was not until the Cambrian explosion where the level of oxygen was significant enough. The “great oxidation event” was a mystery because the amount of oxygen was too low, yet it was believed that cyanobacteria produced oxygen as far back as 350 million years before the start of

Paleontologist use tools, such as ice cores and fossils, to determine how Earth has changed over the ages. Molds, Cast, Petrified, Carbonized and Trace fossils are the most commonly found fossils. Ice cores are tubular samples of snow and ice that has built up over thousands of years. With the help of the fossils and ice cores, scientist are able to tell Earth’s climate, environment, and changes in the surface from 4.6 billion years ago. According to National Geographics, “The Story of Earth,” the

with the fossil record. Before Cambrian explosion, there is only unicellular organisms or simplest form of organism present, but due to change in environment factor, it has led to the appearance of a multicellular organism and exoskeleton body formed because of natural selection. Due to the shortage of oxygen available in the earth, an animal does not get sufficient oxygen for metabolic functions thus the increase in animal size is inhibited. After Cambrian explosion, water and concentration of oxygen

blocked ocean currents Almost all life died. Vast volcanic eruptions split Rodinia apart, melted snowball earth, and put CO2 in the air causing the greenhouse effect. cambrian 544-505 million years ago when cambrian times started the earth was covered in shallow seas ancient continents lie south of the equator. The cambrian explosion of life created vast amounts of life on earth under water. The first invertebrates with shells such as trilobites and mollusks appear. The Ozone layer starts to

ancestor modified by the mechanism of natural selection resulting in the evolution of species adapting to their environment. The following are the main geological topics concerning creationism: radiometric dating, transitional forms and the Cambrian explosion. Creationism is nothing more than a child’s fairytale that lacks any scientific proof. The aspect of radiometric dating is controversial to most

Introduction A man by the name of Charles R. Darwin published a book that was titled On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favored Races in the Struggle for Life, (typically called The Origin of Species). Published in 1859, this book caused a great dispute in the world of science. You see, in his book Darwin was just trying to answer an age old question “How Did We Get Here?” without ever referring to a supernatural creator. This book shocked the science community

parasitic prokaryote. By 1.5 billion years ago, we started seeing multi-cellular eukaryotic organisms in the fossil record. The very first would be the Algae. But it wasn’t until 535 million years ago that the Eukaryotes went berserk, known as the Cambrian
