Abiogenesis is not part of ToE. The cambrian explosion is a pretty easy concept to wrap your head around: loads of niches opened up over the course of FIFTY MILLION YEARS and so lots of new life forms emerged.
Anything else?
EDIT: BTW, niches in this sense mean various geographical places where some specialised organisms can thrive over others.
ok good. Well lets repeat a post from old thread so you may have a chance to reply: (I already know what the others will say, but lets see what you have to say)
"From nothing we have almost everything, almost overnight (Geologically speaking). This remains mysterious. No body really understands how this happened."
"In Darwins theory, if you think of the branching tree. You would have one form to begin with. And it would gradually diverge into different forms. And gradually into more differences until you have the major differences appearing."
"The problem with the cambrian explosion is that all these major differences appear together at the same time. With no fossil evidence that they descended from this common ancestor."
"it's not a branching tree, it's a lawn with everything sprouting on it's own."
-Jonathan Wells - PhD molecular and cell biology - UC Berkley.
The whole interview is not in the video just excerpts but the guy from Berkley obviously thinks the explosion sceptically.
another guy is J.Y. chen leading paleontologist at some institute in chengjaing china.
"Darwinism maybe only telling a part of the story for evolution."
"Darwins tree is a reverse cone shape. Very unexpectedly our research is convincing us that major phyla is starting down below at the beginning of the cambrian. The base is wide and gradually narrows. This is almost turned a different way."
He is saying that the tree of life is actually inverted.
This guy is supposed to have some famous pieces of the cambrian era in HIs collection.
there are others that say the same thing.
