Transcript

There’s a rock layer called the Cambrian where, seemingly out of nowhere, pop fossils from forty major animal groups. It’s an explosion of life and diversity. But where did these lifeforms come from? The fossils in the layer below them are very different so even evolutionists don’t pretend they were their evolutionary ancestors.

Actually, the Bible explains this “Cambrian explosion.” As the floodwaters rose during the global flood, environments were buried one at a time, starting with the seafloor. These layers don’t represent different times in history, they represent different environments buried as the waters rose.
