Thanks for the correction. It was something my son learned about -- not me -- but I did personally hear Gould expand on it. I took my son to hear Gould because the teacher gave extra credit to any student who went, so we tromped to downtown DC at night on the Metro to the Press Club and heard him in person. I was not impressed. My son had a question but was not called on.
I think complex organisms came about fast because God created them.
Your last point is spot on Marcia!
To make a correction as Magnetic Poles explanation is misleading and highly abbreviated. The
Cambrian Explosion in fact is strong evidence that evolution is false! It actually tends to give greater support for Creation.
It is one of the greatest obstacles for evolutionists. It is debated and discussed among all ranks but often downplayed or even misrepresented by Darwinians. However, Darwin was aware of this 150 years ago himself but hoped the fossil record or science would eventually show otherwise somehow.
“The case at present must remain inexplicable, and may be truly urged as a valid argument against the views here entertained.” (The Origin of Species., p. 351),.
The Cambrian Explosion is a factual record which shows the beginning of all major and complex groups of living animals. This is highly damaging evidence which contradicts and refutes evolution. A brief but good article with quotes can be found here.

The greatest pillar of evolution was the purported fossil record. The fossil record also disproves evolution and the Cambrian Explosion strongly supports that as a fact. Science has continued to advance and as more artifacts have been gathered it has continued to raise more doubts and obstacles to the theory. If evolution were true the opposite would have easily been shown to occur. It is but one of many significant obstacles for them and a real "monkey" on their back! Pun intended.
The fossil record does not show the evolution of species though evolutionists often try to depict such. Again and again scientists are proved over zealous, wrong or corrupt with lies at times being exposed. Just Google on the many times or falsities of the "missing link" reportedly being found! Remember the "missing link" slogan and how it was depicted many years ago? It was and still is simply an attempt to keep the theory alive. Darwin himself helped perpetuate falsified drawings by German biologist in an attempt to give credence to the theory. This was one of the greatest and longest running hoaxes until the 1990's when embryologist Michael Richardson exposed the truth. BTW, Haeckel's drawings were known to be fakes for a century by prominent evolutionists but never reported as such until Richardson exposed it.
Despite this biology textbooks were reported as still depicting the drawings as factual many years afterward. I read one two years ago that at least made mention the drawings were doctored but downplayed that. It also began to discuss the problems with the Fossil record in regards to evolution but then completely changed the subject. Instead of clarifying the point the book simply and abruptly began to note the “many new archaeological discoveries” over the years. The book seemed quite good but I found numerous examples where it began to mention some of the major scientific problems with evolution but then offered no elaboration for the students. It completely omitted many of the other challenges or disproved facts. I borrowed the textbook from a relative in order to see how it is presented today. I will say it was presented more honestly than when I was in school and thus why I say “seemed good”. Evolution was only presented within one or two chapters of the textbook with many other good and interesting chapters.
Ann Coulter notes the Miller-Urey experiment is still taught as factual in textbooks to this day though it was proved false, questionable at best, many decades ago. There are scientists who continue to manipulate that experiment and hypothesis in hopes of making it conceivable but always with highly debatable results. Other hypothesis of origin have arisen because of the significant obstacles to this.
Piltdown Man is another example. Having been taught as factual and hailed as the great discovery by the Darwinian theorists for many decades only to later be proved a complete hoax.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piltdown_Man You would think a scientific community concerned with accurate data would have discovered this sooner? It however is only one of many hoaxes and highly debatable facts as purported by evolutionists, scientists, or advocates of evolution. Whenever a new species or variation of species is discovered Darwinians often depict it as proving evolution, only later to show otherwise. Peppered moths are an example where they were fraudulently staged for textbooks.
http://www.exchangedlife.com/Creation/pepper.shtml It is still lauded today by many as a great example of evolution however.
So as science has continued to advance, with molecular and many other fields challenging the theory, evolutionists are required to continually revise their theory. Often to the point of contradicting the core of the theory but effectually making it difficult for anyone to ever disprove. Richard Dawkins is a prime example why any and all challenges to the theory of evolution is highly ridiculed. Because the only other alternative is Gods creation.
“Darwin made it possible to be an intellectually fulfilled atheist”.
-- Richard Dawkins, The Blind Watchmaker, page 6
Richard Dawkins is one of "the" great evolutionist and atheists but has admited the possibility of God being the creator. He also noted a belief that aliens began it all.

It is junk science and I applaud Texas.:applause:
I would love to know what God thinks of it all.
BTW He created it the way He says He did. See p.1 of the Bible:godisgood:
