The Cambrian explosion is something that has baffled and intrigued many scientists, Christians, and the "regular" theologians who wonder about origins every now and then. Some think that the Cambrian Explosion was the first sign of life on this planet ever while others believe this time period signifies life emerging from single cell organisms that lay waiting to transform millions of years prior. Whatever the opinion, I have found that it is difficult to decipher what the evidence tells us. For someone with a naturalistic presupposition or worldview, the evidence could, in some way, support their belief system. For a creationist and/or Christian there are elements of the Cambrian explosion that could support their belief system. It doesnt seem that the evidence is overwhelming to support either side significantly.
This website/resource was very helpful in the areas of defining terms and laying out the information in a way that all could decipher it and come to their own conclusions. I would recommend this site for my fellow classmates who are interested in writing about the Cambrian Explosion on the wiki-page.
The site covers: Trace Fossils, Geochemical observations, Phylogenetic techniques, scientific term explanation, precambrian life and much more. I would give this site a 10/10.
