Genesis.......

Evolution, like global warming, is settled science.

This, of course, is just one more inconvenient set of facts for university liberals to ignore.

Ancient Aliens brought them on a Space Ark?

More computer models that have no connection with reality?

More pablum for the insecure from Lyin' Brian. In case anyone's interested, here's some of what actual scientists have to say about the question:

Cambrian life was still unlike almost everything alive today. Although several phyla appear to have diverged in the Early Cambrian or before, most of the phylum-level body plans appear in the fossil record much later (Budd and Jensen 2000). Using number of cell types as a measure of complexity, we see that complexity has been increasing more or less constantly since the beginning of the Cambrian (Valentine et al. 1994).

Major radiations of life forms have occurred at other times, too. One of the most extensive diversifications of life occurred in the Ordovician, for example (Miller 1997).

The fossil record shows multiple episodes of creation and destruction.

That would appear to be a chordate. It's one of the ancestors of vertebrates and thus of us. The Precambrian lead in to the Cambrian explosion was discussed in where new fossil evidence pushed the actual beginning of the "explosion" back some 60 million years thus giving an 80 million year window for the changes. The one thing that makes the early Cambrian so different is the development of exoskeletons and complex eyes. In other words, this was an explosion of mostly bugs and proto fish.

New fossil finds further verify one of evolution’s biggest problems: the Cambrian explosion.

...

The evolutionary model still answers more questions with fewer problems than anything the ICR has offered.

Should you first deny that there was a Cambrian era? This article contradicts you in the title alone.
