Time Runs Out on Darwin

[orogenicman]

To review, the pre-Cambrian was far simpler in terms of living things :
'Before about 580 million years ago, most organisms were simple, composed of individual cells occasionally organized into colonies.... The Cambrian explosion, or Cambrian radiation, was the relatively rapid appearance, around 542 million years ago, of most major animal phyla, as demonstrated in the fossil record."

6. What is the problem with the timeframe?

"The biochemical complexity of cascades of enzymes required to perform a single function in the cell is mind-boggling, and for a structure or function to be selected it must be functionally complete. The formation of amino acids from ammonia and methane under extremes of pressure and temperature is quoted, but this synthesis is nothing compared with the complexity of a single protein enzyme, let alone a series of highly specialised enzymes functioning in a cascade sequence.

Such irreducibly complex systems are of no selective value unless they are complete." Alan H. Linton is emeritus professor of bacteriology, University of Bristol. Scant search for the Maker | Biological sciences | Times Higher Education







Next....what is the time required to accomplish all of the changes that produce The Cambrian explosion, or Cambrian radiation, ...." of most major animal phyla, as demonstrated in the fossil record."

7. "Geologically speaking, 5 million years represents a mere 1/10th of 1 percent (0.11 percent to be precise) of earth's history."
Meyer, "Darwin's Doubt," p. 72

a. J.Y.Chen explains that "compared with the 3-plus-billion-year history of life on earth, the period [of the explosion] can be likened to one minute in 24 hours of one day."
Lili, "Traditional Theory of Evolution Challenged," Beijing Review, March 31-April 6, 1997,p.10






So, in addition to the difficulty of the fossil record, the timeframe itself, from simple life of the pre-Cambrian, to the extensive diversity and existence of new phyla of the Cambrian, is not possible in the 5-6 million years between the two.



Yet.....so many refuse to confront the facts: Darwinian evolution just doesn't work.

How's that search for the Cambrian bunny rabbit going for you?
