More evidence for the expansion of livable, oxygenated ocean regions behind the so called Cambrian explosion. Evolution has its place in this relatively rapid life form expansion and the key is oxygen.
OMG!! People who believe in Evolution are ATHEISTS!
Well, you’re coming around a bit. You used the term “life form expansion” and didn’t say everything happened in 6,000 years.
Wow, it never occurred to me that animals needed oxygen. What’ll they think up next?
Around to what?
Read this, you might “come around.”

Was that the only difference in the purported habitat?
Amazing that seemingly intelligent people would believe that all of this was just random chance.
Bingo! Yes, atheists have a god, it is called chance.
Is this some kind of magician’s trick, look at this hand, not that hand?
The problems in evolutionary theory go a bit beyond oxygen.
Just a quick post to explain why atheism requires as much faith, if not much more, than a theist.
All atheists posit whats called a universal negative. A universal negative requires absolute knowledge (omniscience) whereas a universal positive may not require that.
For instance, lets say I am in a building with 4 rooms, and I have only been in 1 room. In order to say that every room is empty, I would have to have knowledge of all 4 rooms. I would need to know the entirety of what I am claiming to know.
However, to state the opposite, that the building is not empty, I would at the very least only need to know about one room.
So, in essence, any time an atheist claims that there is absolutely no God, they are claiming absolute and full knowledge of the universe (omniscience). If they are not claiming absolute knowledge, than they are going off of faith, but in fact, since they could never EVER know for sure that universal negative, then they are requiring much more faith than a person who claims there is a God (because finding out if there is a God may not require absolute knowledge).
But hey, I dont need to say it, it was written quite a long time ago “the fool says in his heart There is no God” (Psalm 14:1)
.
Evolution maintains its place in the trash can full of loser theories.
(alongside its promoters)

The ignorant smartypants remarks you are receiving are an embarrassment to conservatism.
That was very awesome.
It has long puzzled scientists why, after 3 billion years of nothing more complex than algae, complex animals suddenly started to appear on Earth.
...
Can’t this be taken that complex life is rare?
They need water...
I noticed long ago a correlation between the trailing off of banded iron formations (which were oxygen sinks) and the emergence of more complicated life forms.
That, plus the climate settled at one optimal temperature and hasn’t budged since 1970.
Bingo! Yes, atheists have a god, it is called chance.
The chance of the first simple cell assembling itself is something like 1 times 10 to the 600th power therefore atheists believe it big numbers. They are polytheists.
