"Speaking of evolutionary “radiations”, no example is more astonishing than the Cambrian explosion. According to Darwinians, some 20 animal phyla appeared suddenly in a geological instant. But even if one believes in Deep Time, adding millions of years does not help. The key issue is the origin of biological information. That main point is routinely dodged by evolutionary paleontologists.
Concerning the well-known and persistent problem of the Cambrian explosion, Stephen Meyer stated the issue as clearly and succinctly
Last November, Philip C. J. Donoghue of the University of Bristol with three colleagues struggled to calibrate the Ediacaran and Cambrian fossil record to the “molecular clock” hypothesis.
"Integrating across uncertainties including phylogenetic relationships, clock model, and calibration strategy, we estimate Metazoa to have originated in the early Ediacaran, Eumetazoa in the middle Ediacaran, and Bilateria in the upper Ediacaran, with many crown-phyla originating across the Ediacaran-Cambrian interval or elsewise fully within the Cambrian. These results are in much closer accord with the fossil record, coinciding with marine oxygenation, but they reject a literal reading of the fossil record."
By that, they mean that if you calibrate the molecular clock to certain fossils, they do not fit most of the other fossils."
