The Cambrian explosion is supposedly a time in Earth's history about 570 million years ago when life evolved extremely quickly from single-celled organisms to complex plants and animals.

There is a major problem with this theory, in that it is a cataclysmic event. Evolutionary theory avoids catastrophic explanations whenever possible (and only accepts them when they could be considered common), but this Cambrian explosion happening over a period of a couple million years is almost instantaneous compared to the 4.6 billion-year Darwinian model of evolution.

Picture, if you will, the history of the Earth in a 24-hour day: the first few hours show no signs of life; but at about the fifth hour, you start to see single-celled organisms floating around; this life stays like that for sixteen hours until the twenty-first hour, when all of a sudden, you see complex and diverse life come into being in a span of less than two minutes.

This theory is only a feeble attempt to explain how there seems to be no fossil evidence of the creatures between single cells and complex vertebrates and plant life; in fact, this explanation is even more miraculous than the Creation account, because where Creation states that an Intelligent Designer made everything from nothing, evolution claims that chance played the leading role in causing everything to grow from nothing to everything.

If you'll notice, the cause and effect of both Creation and Evolution are the same (everything from nothing), but the difference is chance and intelligence. There are two possibilities: either we are a product of random chance and quantum fluctuations billions of years ago, and thus have no purpose; or we are a product of supreme intelligence, and should find our purpose through seeking this intelligence and doing His will (Psalm 27:4).

Why did the Cambrian explosion may not have been an explosion?

The Cambrian Explosion wasn't a literal explosion. Instead, it was a span of time when organisms evolved into an immense number of new forms, and biodiversity increased greatly, reaching its modern level. The Cambrian Explosion occurred between 530 and 450 million years ago.

Why is the Cambrian Period called the Cambrian Explosion?

The Cambrian Period is called the Cambrian Explosion because it is characterized by a sudden increase in the diversity of multicellular life forms, including the appearance of many major groups of organisms. This period saw the rapid evolution and proliferation of complex marine life forms, marking a significant point in the history of life on Earth.
