The new phylum is a single species phylum and these critters live a happy
life on lobster lips. The creature has no fossil record and nothing that has
its exact body plan on the surface of the earth.
The question I have for anti-evolutionists. When did God create this new
phylum and how can you prove that it didn't just evolve in the past 200
years? Can you prove it wasn't created 200 years ago?
For the PC's: When did God create this new phylum and how can you recognize
that God miraculously created it rather than evolving it?
Friar and Davis write:
"Significant from our standpoint is that at a certain time in the
supposed geological calendar, popularly called the Cambrian era,
are found a host of fossils which are virtually absent from older
layers of rock. From a scientific standpoint alone it is evident
that a spectacular event must have occurred at this time. It seems
reasonable that the abrupt change at the period designated as
Cambrian is a result of God's creative activity."~Wayne Frair and
P. William Davis, The Case for Creation, (Chicago: Moody, 1967), p.
55.
Since the Cambrian is the time that all but 2 (used to be one but now is two)
phyla appear, have we just missed a miracle of God by not paying close enough
attention to lobster lips?
The reason I ask these questions is that we must consider what would the
evolution of a new life form be like. How would we recognize it? It would
suddenly be discovered like this thing was discovered. That is the entire
evidence we can have even if we are on the planet at the time a new life form
emerges.
