Does the Cambrian Explosion refute the claim of Evolution?
No, it doesn’t even come close to refuting the claim of Evolution. People who claim that do not understand evolution, or the Cambrian explosion at all. The Cambrian explosion is just a name given for the *rapid* generation of new species that occurred about 540 million years ago … but this means *rapid* in geological terms, which is still incredibly slow in *human* terms. All that happened was that life discovered a number of fundamentally different body plans and niches at a rate that was faster than the rather constant and slow rate at which fossils are created. This happened within the course of a few million years, which is extremely rapid in geological terms … but a few million years is still a *long* time in human terms. It is all *fully* explained by evolutionary theory. Read this, and then ask questions. Don’t just rely on a paragraph or two in some Creationist sites … at least understand what the scientists are saying about it before reaching a conclusion:
