I would suggest that some should take more note of what leading researchers
like Conway Morris says. He just happens to be one of the leading British
paleaontologists and has few equals in the USA. Kieth will support that, but
then Kieth does know a little geology!!.
I see little point in amateurs pontificating about the Cambrian explosion in
this manner.
Incidentally Conway Morris is a Christian and gets rather fed up with
ultradarwinists.
