In a thread a few months back there were some references to recent
articles cutting the explosive part of the Cambrian down to half a million
years. But the major point is that whether the organisms at this new level
of complexity appeared over 40 years or 40 million, there is no evidence
explaining their evolution; when they are observed, they are fully formed.
These animals all share the same basic plumbing, wiring, and segmented
skeletal structure; this is what appeared suddenly, this is what is not
explained.

Progressive creationists and ID advocates would agree. Evolutionists
would not.
