Re: Besides that, if life began in the sea, where fossils are most likely to form, then where are all the pre-Cambrian fossils?
Well, I may not be a paleontologist but I do have some notion.... I think the pre-Cambrian era takes us back, hmmmm...say, one or two billion years? That is, in an era where besides jellyfishes, amoebae, and trilobites, there weren't many sophisticated life forms (like vertebrates). Now, how would you expect a jellyfish to fossilize --it's made of 99% water?
On the other hand, if creationist loonies are correct then how come scientific dating testifies that life popped up several billion years ago? The day some archeologist digs up a bespectacled skull that belongs to a 50,000-year old caveman then, maybe, we might reconsider "evolution" --even more so if the caveman wears a wrist watch.... |
