According to evolution, “The Cambrian explosion is often presented as a chaotic moment in early evolutionary history.” 

This period, which evolutionists say happened around 540 million to 520 million years ago, a moment when many animal groups first sprang into life and diversified.

But the question is was there a  dramatic burst of biodiversity on Earth?

A cursory flip through any high school biology textbook will inevitably surface a mention of the Cambrian explosion, a period about during which many animal groups first sprang into life and diversified. The event is frequently described as rapid and prolific, evoking a chaotic moment in early evolutionary history. 

”Thomas Servais, a paleontologist and research director at the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS), and colleagues published a 2023 paper in Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology arguing that the Cambrian explosion didn't happen in the way it's popularly portrayed.”

He said that it was not an explosion but an increase in the was not abut rather a gradual increase in biodiversity that took throughout the early Paleozoic era or 541 million to 251.9 million years ago, 

This is against the intelligent design paradigm that states that it was an explosion, which the creation model also said so.
