Evolution: where did cyanobacteria come from? (Introduction)

DAVID: The is no word of yours that fits the Cambrian ( as the chief example of the explosion). The appearance of oxygen only allowed the explosion to happen. Your words imply causation, and we do not know the cause.

dhw: Of course it was not the cause. We have been over this a hundred times, and had a long discussion over your misunderstanding of the word initiate, which means to set in motion, trigger, start something off, cause something to begin, but not to BE the cause of something.

We can agree on this if you specify 'initiate' does not imply cause.

dhw: The disagreement between us is over your theory that your God restructured organisms before environmental change, whereas I argue that the restructuring would have been in response to environmental change.

Totally wrong. The Cambrian animals were created after oxygen appeared. Not before. Only the whales appear to fit your comment.
