Genesis 1:20-21
Meet Trilobite's friends - Cambrian animals that also defied evolution !
Evolutionists all agree that the Cambrian rock layers, first laid down on ocean bottoms about 540 million years ago, contain fossils of highly complex sea creatures representing all the major phyla and most of the invertebrate classes and orders found on Earth today. Cambrian fossils include clams, snails, horseshoe crabs, trilobites, sponges, brachiopods, worms, jellyfish, sea urchins, sea cucumbers, starfish, brittle stars, sea lilies, and even species of fish. What they can't explain is the fact that the rock layers directly below the Cambrian strata are completely devoid of any sea creatures at all, either simple or complex. What is a phylum? Science defines the term phylum as a group of organisms - plants and animals - sharing a basic body plan . A phyla of organisms can be further subdivided into classes, orders and families of organisms that are closely related. Evolution is based on the theory that life started out with a very simple body plan that could have been built up over time in steps.
Cambrian invertebrates with advanced body plans that defy evolution
Mollusks are the second-largest phylum of advanced invertebrate fossils, after arthropods, found in Cambrian rocks. Mollusks are soft- bodied animals enclosed in protective shells that include clams (bi- valves), snails (gastropods) and squids and octopuses (cephalopods). Another Advanced Arthropod Fossil: After the trilobite, one of the best examples of an advanced Cambrian "arthropod" is the amazing horseshoe crab. The oldest fossils of horseshoe crabs, found in 445 million year old rocks in Manitoba, Canada, look similar to horseshoe crabs we find living on beaches today. This amazing arthropod has 10 eyes! Because horseshoe crabs come up onto the shorelines and beaches to reproduce, they are commonly observed around the world today. Advanced Mollusk Fossils :
Advanced Echinoderm Fossils:
Echinoderms are a diverse group of advanced marine invertebrates with radial symmetry (having five or multiples of five arms).Their fossils first appeared in the Cambrian Period. The name Echinoderm comes from the Greek word for "spiny skin." The phylum includes about 7,000 living species. Examples of echinoderms are starfish, sea cucumbers, sea urchins, sand dollars, and brittle stars.
