How do some evolutionists try to explain away the Cambrian discontinuity ?
Some evolutionists try to explain away the absence of preCambrian transitional fossils by stating that they were soft-bodied. However, in 1984, paleontologists discovered very rich beds of Cambrian and pre-Cambrian fossils in China. Large number of pre-Cambrian soft-bodied creatures were incredibly well preserved as fossils. And all we see are a few varieties of worms and sponges. No transitional species leading up to the Cambrian explosion.
