Bluescat,

You sure about that? Based on what data? Bryozoans don't turn up in the fossil record until the ordovician, the period after the cambrian.

Re: Modern life form ?

Doubting Too,

And why is skeletonised invertebrates (note non-skeletonised ones were excluded) & not modern animal appearing in the Cambrian over the period of "about 10 million years" indicative of an intelligent designer?

Re: Modern life form--Answer to Mark24

Doubting Too,

First, off I did not say "designer".

I never said you did.

What do you mean by "modern" animal?

Any species alive today.

So, I repeat: "And why is skeletonised invertebrates (note non-skeletonised ones were excluded) & not modern animal appearing in the Cambrian over the period of "about 10 million years" indicative of an intelligent designer?"

If the answer is "the Cambrian explosion isn't evidence of a designer", that's fine, I'm trying to sound out your opinion.

Re: Modern life form--Answer to Mark24

Doubting Too,

Let me correct you. I did not say designer. My opinion is this: the fossils shown on the link Re: Why common anscestor... The confusion (Message 25)--without any interpretation / speculation from scientists--appear to support creation. And, by creation, I mean that which is found in Genesis.

So when I ask do you think it is evidence of an intelligent designer, the answer was yes all along. Why so coy?

So a protofishthing, phylum chordata, which was pretty much the only type of chordate in the Cambrian managed to evolve into all the chordates alive today? That's fish, bats, birds, dinosaurs, humans, kangaroos, lizards, pterosaurs, plesiosaurs, moles etc. If phylum chordata isn't the "kind" you speak of, then where is it in the Cambrian?

And since when did the Genesis creation event take place in 10 million years, & why did god not bother to create the major plant phyla (divisions) in the Cambrian at all? Surely that's out of order?

Re: Modern life form--Answer to Mark24

Doubting Too,

Is that a question, or your opinion?

It had a question mark at the end, so...

I don't can't understand why you have to ask me this. I did not say it.

It's a corollary of what you have said.

No modern living organisms were created in the Cambrian. You say that life was created after its own kind. I assume you mean what all other creationists mean by this; kinds were created & limited evolution occurred within them. In this case how do you get from a Cambrian "chordate" kind to a modern chordate?
