Don't worry, that seems to be impossible. I've been pointing out that Brian Thomas is a liar for several years now--sometimes he lies by omission, as here, and sometimes more baldly--but people still post his articles, and they're still greeted with a chorus of "Yeah! Evolution sucks!"
I lurked in these threads for a long time, diligently following the anti-evolutionists' links and trying to understand their arguments, before I ever joined the fray. I figure others are probably lurking now, and it's hard for me to just let this kind of propaganda stand.
Here, Brian Thomas very conveniently forgets the mass dying of the Permian Extinction and the effect it had on subsequent evolution. The little fellow he focused on is probably the worst example he could have used as it was a survivor and lead to vertebrates.
He uses a microscope to view a forest so his perception will be horribly flawed.
Should you first deny that there was a Cambrian era? This article contradicts you in the title alone.
