This frightens Dawkins who must have gradual:-"Evolution is very possibly not, in actual fact, always gradual. But it must be gradual when it is being used to explain the coming into existence of complicated, apparently designed objects, like eyes. For if it is not gradual in these cases, it ceases to have any explanatory power at all. Without gradualness in these cases, we are back to miracle, which is simply a synonym for the total absence of explanation."
 Dawkins, R. (1995) River Out of Eden, Basic Books, New York, p. 83.-And the Cambrian denies:-"Many of the fossils at the new site are better preserved than their quarry counterparts, the researchers report. The new fossils reveal the internal organs of several different arthropods, the most common type of animal in both the new and old Burgess Shale locations. Retinas, corneas, neural tissue, guts and even a possible heart and liver were found." (my bold)-http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/mother-lode-of-fossils-discovered-in-canada/
