Explanations for the Cambrian Explosion

You do realise that for something to evolve from a parent specie does not require the extinction of the parent specie, don't you?Imagine if you had a parent specie X and this specie was separated by some geological change (such as a land mass being separated by water). We can call these X and X1.Then a population pressure is placed upon X1 (but not X).X1 will evolve to adapt to the new population pressure (X will not).Role the clock on and X1 (who evoled form X) are happily living life to the full.X is still around.Makes sense?

Why, thanks DT.But the mask is simply a reflection of my beauty How have I not answered your question: 'No he has not taken us for a ride'?

Hi DT.Do you think that based on the small amount of information that you have that you could come to an inaccurate conclusion?Edited by Larni, : No reason given.

I echo these sentiments.If DT did not rely on such a limited data set before drawing inaccurate conclusions about my gender he or she would have described me as hansom, rather than beautiful . you will win hands down on that score.

It seems that the good Dr...er no that's not right:It seems that the George Washington University graduate....er no that's not right, either.It seems the high school graduate, 'Vedic archeologist' and regular talk radio conspiracy theory talk show guest is a wack job.Why not take a look at a review of 'Forbidden Archeology'. Here we see how there is a seeming bias in the selection of evidence and the importance given to the evidence as well as the implications for obvious creationist a proiri assumptions.One thing that made me laugh was the times evidence went 'missing' after conclusions were drawn.Creationism: The Hindu ViewEdited by Larni, : Spellink

You mean preserved, not fossilised.

So how does mineralisation occure inside amber?

I stand corrected.
