Re: Why common anscestor... The confusion
Hi AOKid,
I think you have done quite well. You are a skeptik. You look at pictures of organisms with great complexity which suddenly appear in the Cambrian, and then you simply ask, where did these come from?
What do you think would be the next best step? Read science books that cover the "Cambrian Explosion", or wing it from a laymen perspective?
Im not trying to insult here, I honestly want to know what you believe would be the next best move in understanding this period in Earths history.

Kudos on the thread
Hi Bluejay,
As a lover of science I, like most I guess, have my areas of science that I enjoy the most. Natural history is not one of them. In fact the details of evolution aren't one of them either. I have the general understanding of it and read many science magazines so I try to stay informed on whats going on in the Bio world. But, for the most part, it bores me. No offence to anyone.
Hey! Don't go knocking my longest-running thread at EvC. I finally started a topic that people actually wanted to talk about, and you're calling it "meaningless."
I must say that I never really payed much attention to the cambrian explosion, nor did I know that creationist had issue with it, till you started this thread. I learned a bunch from you guys and I learned the typical creationist arguments and where they go wrong so, thanks.
I hope it continues to go longer, even though it seems Coyote is getting tired of the repetative arguments from these guys, and I can understand his feelings, but I hope it can continue as it has been. Hopefully you and Bluecat can stay at it. It kinda sparked my interest in a topic that usually bores the shit out of me, so thanks again...even though it still kinda bores me. j/k
