This article by Andrew Parker, from 2005, puts forward the theory 
that the Cambrian Explosion is due to the evolution of eyes:-http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/scienceshow/cambrian-explosion-explained/3440222#transcript-This of course is just one hypothesis, among many. As far as I know there is no scientific consensus, which is why the subject is open for ID controversialists to play about with.-The statement in the original post that "materialism ... denies free will" is nonsense (but I've an idea that subject has been done to death here previously). Also materialism isn't the belief that "matter is all that exists" these days, one has to include energy.-The tired old statistical arguments based on supposing that everything happens by chance, taking no account of causation, just don't add up.
