Trilobites Formed During the Cambrian Explosion

For some supporters of evolution, the Cambrian explosion was really the most important biological “event after the origin of life,” which was absurd.

Now, some folks have ben saying that it wasn’t - and some scientists have repudiated them, saying that it was.

A case study in PNAS seeks to solve the issue, It is about trilobites, who they assume were brought to life some 521 million years ago”.

They were 100 per cent trilobites (no evidences of evolution) at the beginning and hence were subject to “evolutionary stasis throughout the remainder of the Cambrian.”

The Cambrian Explosion was an enormous dilemma for Darwin, and it still baffles evolutionists, and, as evolutionary biologist Matthew Wills acknowledges, it can give them a real headache.

The trilobites had the wonderful eyesight that can’t be denied. so, now evolutionists have to grapple with who did the trick – oxygen or cancer some other feature unknown to us.
