One point that creationists, either knowingly or unknowingly, grt the impression that all thye phyla formed during the Cambrian explosion. Most of the current phyla existed before the Cambrian.
Citing Dawkin's The Ancestor's tale,Chap 26 IN THE DEEPS of geological time, and iof the hard support of fossils, we are now entirely reliant on the technique that I referred to in the General Prologue as molecular range finding. The upside is that the technique is getting even more sophisticated. Molecular range finding confirms a belief longheld by comparative anatomists, or more strictly comparative embryologists, that the greater part of the animal kingdomis divided into two great sub-kingdoms, the Deuterostomia & the Protostomia.
from this chapter it shows that the separation of these 2 sub-kingdoms occurred before the Cambrian. with most of the phyla from at least the protostomes having evolved before the Cambrian. the prtostome phyla before the Cambrian: Chaetognatha - Arrow wormsTardigrata - Water Bears Onychophora - Velvet Worms Arthopoda - Insects, crustaceans, arachnids etc. Cephalorhynchs - no common name Nematoda - Round worms Nenatophora - Hairworms Gnathifera - Rotifers Platyhelminthes - Flat Worms Brachiozoa - Brachiopods (lamp shells) Entoprocta - Goblet Worms Bryozoa - Moss Animals Nemertea - Ribbon Worms Mollusca - Clams, squid, octopi etc. Annelida - Segmented worms Sipunculoidea - Peanut worms All of these phhla existed before the so called Cambrian Explosion.

Then what are they? Most were Phyla even when I was in school back in the 50's & 60's. Some have different names, They are listed as phylea in the source I listed The Ancestor's Tale.

From a combination of Fossil record, DNA sequencing and a process Dawkins calls Triangulation, which combines the fossil record with the similarity of the DNA sequencing and relates to when the similar sequencing appears in a common ancestor in what he calls the Molecular Clock. Do to the misconception that many people have that the so living fossils have not changed since the whatever era, what is considered the time a particular phylum occured in the geological time line is not necessarily correct. The common ancestor of both the Bryozoa & the Entoprocta is also the common ancestor of the Brachiozoa, Nemertea, Mollusca, Annelida & Sipunculoidea, which broke away from the protostome main line some time prior to the Cambrian.

The term common ancestor simply means that if one traces the genetic development back to a point where the branch goes in 2 directions, the point where the branch forks is the common ancestor of the 2 branches, which is why it is singular.

You are confusing yourself by the use of terminology.
Razd writes: Technically, singular is incorrect. What is correct is a common ancestral population.. This is in reference to the fact that it is not just one particular animal of a particular species evolves but that a population of this species undergoes evolutionary changes do to any number of effects of the environment, speciation, separation of the members of the same species etc. The point I made as to why it is a sigle common ancestor is in regards to the evolved species and not a single individual. The other problem is the use of the term "explosion." It was simply used to indicate a large number of new species that evolved during the period, particularly before much the current data was found after the term was coined.

1. If Darwin can conjecture that the tribolite descended from one-precambrian ancestor, and if there is found today a living tribolite almost exactly the same as in the fossil--can I speculate that Darwin took us for a ride? No since Darwin didn't have the benefit of DNA and the genomes of the particular entities, there would have been only speculation on the relationships of the various species. Trilobites create a problem in that with no surviving ancestors one can only speculate as to their relationship to either the mandibulate arthropods (insects, crustaceans, diplopods) or the chelicerate arthropods (horseshoe crabs or arachnids) and until such time as this can be determined there will be a problem of relationship.

Or we can also speculate that... 1) tribolites have no ancestors because they just appeared all of a sudden--that's why the term "explosion". 2) Or some outer space being--and this one from a scientist in the article I followed speculated--created or planted them here. No in that it is known that trilobites are arthropods but how they are related to the other arthropods is problematic. Their ancestors are the same as those of the other arthropods.

IN THE CAMBRIAN,John Repetski,US Geol. Survey,"The oldest land plants now known are from the early cambrian...Approximately 60 cambrian spore-genera are now on record...Represent 6 different groups of vascular plants..."EVOLUTION,V.13,6/59,P.264" Try something newer that 6/59, there has been quite a lot of research since then.

Strange, when I click on your link it works, but copying the link from the other message gave me an error message. What next?
My point that I wanted was verification of the type of Cambrian plant life which was just as I figured, Bryophytes & Cryptospores, which is not anything unreasonable.

You didn't go the route.
One possibility, however, is that the ancient pentastomids attached themselves to the gills of some of the large marine arthropods which were common in Ordovician times. These include familiar fossils such as the trilobites, and a lesser-known group called the anomalocarids, voracious predators which could grow up to 2 metres long. At some point, suggests Riley, the pentastomids must have made the leap from marine invertebrates to freshwater and land-living vertebrates, and so were able to survive when their former hosts became extinct. Just because modern tongue worms are parasites of modern animals it doesn't mean that the Cambrian tongue worms had to. There were plenty of animals for them to be parasites of.

In the Cambrian "Poof" (it's a better word than "explosion") No it isn't and the term explosion is senseless too unless you consider a "poof" or "explosion" to be 15+ million years.

The atmospheric oxygen supposedly came from the seas. But not from simply disolved oxygen, but from the photosynthesis of cyano bacteria & primitive algae There is no better love between 2 people than mutual respect for each other WT Young, 2002 Who gave anyone the authority to call me an authority on anything.
