3 - The Origin of Life Made Easy

toobsucker - said "Intelligent design is the only way a complex species can suddenly appear. "

If the first example of a novel creature suddenly materialised on front of us, we might agree. But the Cambrian "explosion" wasn't a brief, mystical event. It was not the spontaneous appearance of multiple novel phyla. Don't mistake the hyperbole for the facts.

There is considerable new evidence of ancestral forms in the Pre-Cambrian fossils. The "explosion" was very slow and had a long fuse.

The Cambrian explosion was NOT billions of years after the first life.

The first life was The Paleozoic era (544 million years ago) right before Cambrian

But Highly complex phyla appear suddenly with NO traces of ancestry.

This contradicts what the theory predicted

The Cambrian explosion was the rapid appearance of most major groups of complex animals around 530 million years ago, as evidenced by the fossil record.
Paleozoic era, a major division (era) of geologic time occurring between 570 to 240 million years ago. It is subdivided into six periods, the Cambrian Period, and 5 more Periods within the Era.

You don't know what the shit you are talking about. The Cambrian explosion WAS billions of years after the first life. The first life was around 3.5 billion years ago, the Cambrian explosion was about 500,000,000 years ago, so there is a 3 billion year gap between the Cambrian explosion and first life. Dumbass.

You are incorrect. and obviously a emotional liberal with all the ad homs.

From Wiki "Timeline_of_evolution"

Between 4500 and 3500 Ma (Ma=MILLION)The earliest life appears, possibly derived from self-reproducing RNA molecules.

Go look it up and stop deceiving yourself

@toobsucker

Okay, what, asshole? The first life is 4500 to 3500 Ma, so that was on par with what I said, asshole. 3500 Ma is 3.5 billion years ago, you dumb shit.

3,500 x 1,000,000 = 3,500,000,000. Can't do math, you stupid dickwad?

@toobsucker

And quit thinking that the Cambrian explosion was a literal explosion of new phyla, you little piece of shit. The Cambrian explosion lasted around 65 million years, you fucker.

Not true. Darwinian evolution is "Goo to You"

You need to research it more.

Darwinian evolution starts at a single celled ancestor. and all species alive come from it.

Darwin did NOT believe any intelligence created the single cell. he believed it evolved by chance. he stated this in a letter to a colleague.

Again, you're mixing two bowls of soup here. Abiogenesis deals with the formation of life up to unicelular organisms, evolution studies "ready-made" life, as it evolves from a single-cell organism.

I agree that abiogenesis and evolution are interconnected, but they can very well be studied on their own. When studying the composition of a comet in space, does the fact that you don't know how it formed shun away observable evidence that it has x and y chemical elements?
