Cambrian ExplosionBiodiversity Peaked Early
By Fazale R. Rana In 2001 an international “dream team” of twenty-five leading paleontologists representing more than fifteen institutions completed the first stage in assembling a massive database of fossils spanning the last 550 million years of Earth’s history. The goal: a comprehensive record of terrestrial and marine fossils for all geographical regions of Earth. Biology’s Big Bangs

By Fuz Rana From two independent teams of paleontologists working in Yunnan, China, comes powerful support for the creation model and, at the same time comes further serious challenge to the naturalistic model for the origin of animals.1, 2 Discovery De-Tracks from Evolution

By Fuz Rana A recent study of Isoxys (marine crustacean) fossils from the Maotianshan Shale of China provides important new evidence for creation. The study reveals that a complex and expansive ecology existed in the period known as the Cambrian Explosion, the time when advanced multicellular animals suddenly appeared on Earth.1 New Insight into the Ecology of the Cambrian Fauna: Evidence for Creation Mounts
By Fuz Rana, Ph.D. A recent report by one of the world’s leading paleontologists, Richard Fortey, provides compelling evidence that chemoautotrophic symbiosis, a complex ecological relationship between sulfur-oxidizing bacteria and advanced, multicellular marine animals, first appeared close to the time of the Cambrian Explosion. Ode to Oxygen
4/1/2007 My seventh-grade science teacher asked the class to list “the three most essential needs of human life.” The “correct” answer—water, food, and sleep—illustrates how easily people take for granted the air we breathe, specifically its oxygen content. Most humans can live a few days without water, food, and sleep, and yet we can’t go more than a few minutes without oxygen. I understood that much in junior high, but at the time I had no idea that Earth’s oxygen-rich atmosphere represents—and facilitates—a miracle. The Explosive Appearance of Skeletal Designs
By Fuz Rana, Ph.D. A team of scientists from Franklin & Marshall College (in Pennsylvania), the University of Chicago, and the American Museum of Natural History in New York City has recently reported a new measure of the dramatic biological innovations that took place during the Cambrian Explosion.
