Heated debate on evolution with brother

[snowtracks]

This is what happened: God created the Cambrian animals in the greatest possible diversity at the greatest possible abundance levels at the earliest time permitted in the history of the universe (earlier human beings and human civilization would be impossible). 
This is what your guys are dealing with*: The evolutionary paradigm has had it day; however, this century finds it crumbling at a exponential rate.

Fact: Forty phyla of complex animals suddenly appear in the fossils record, no forerunners, no transitional forms leading to them ‘‘a major mystery,’’ a ‘‘challenge.’’ Although we would dispute the numbers, and aside from the last line, there is not much here that we would disagree with. Indeed, many of Darwin’s contemporaries shared these sentiments,

Thus, elucidating the materialistic basis of the Cambrian explosion has become more elusive, not less, the more we know about the event itself, and cannot be explained away by coupling extinction of intermediates with long stretches of geologic time, despite the contrary claims of some modern neo-Darwinists…   Kevin Peterson et al. (evolutionary biologists).

Darwin knew he didn’t have the fossils, but he assumed it would be just a matter of time before they were unearthed (1859 –present, no fossil. Damn, where are they?)
 

Well firstly fossilisation is something that only happens rarely, we are lucky indeed to have the supply of fossils that we do.

What you are suggesting is the for seven eighths of the earths history there was no life then, poof suddenly complex life, therefore god.
This is irrelevant because life has been discovered to have existed at least 4.2 billion years ago.

Hey atheist, if one of own doesn't even know the posting is not about the origin-of-life 4 billion years ago; it's all right to correct another atheist by telling them to at least get in the right ball park.
