> dhw: My post is an attempt to grapple with the problems the Cambrian Explosion poses for Darwin's theory, and for everyone else who believes in evolution........If it was OK for Darwin to propose his theory without discussing the origin of life and its mechanisms (though in later editions he refers repeatedly to "the Creator" ... a fact which both theists and atheists prefer to ignore completely), I think I should be allowed to do the same!-The Cambrian posed Darwin the same problem that we face today. He admitted it and hoped for step-by-step precursors, that we now know don't exist. As for his use of 'the Creator' I am fully aware of it, and that Darwin probably sat on your fence before you got there.
