Until 530 million years ago, the oceans of the early Earth were almost completely void of animal life. Then, within a geologically brief span of perhaps 10 million years, the waters were suddenly teeming with a riot of complex animals, representing most of the major animal body plans that have ever existed on our planet. Known today as the “Cambrian explosion,” this mysterious episode in life’s history is a daunting challenge to Charles Darwin’s theory of gradual and unguided evolution by natural selection. During the past century, the mystery of the Cambrian explosion has deepened as scientists have discovered the central role played by biological information in the history of life.

How could a primordial soup birth life? How did a computer-like genetic code come to be? Is the fossil record accurate? What about junk DNA? Is Darwin’s tree of life rooted in scientific fact?

The mainstream media often overstates the evidence for chemical and biological evolution and promotes gross misinformation to the public on this topic. This free digital mini-book reviews the scientific literature and shows that there are powerful scientific challenges to core tenets of Darwin’s theory, as well as to modern theories of chemical evolution.
