Chinese Researchers Challenge Evolutionism
by Cracked Cambria Riddle


Researchers of CAS (Chinese Academy of Science) proved that all progenitors of animals have ever been in the same scratch line.

By studying The Fauna of Chengjiang in China, research fellow, Junyuan Chen, of Nanjing Geologic Ancient Life-form Research Institute, Prof. Xianguang Hou, of Yunnan University, and Prof. Degang Xu, of Northwest University in China, outlined the integrated frame of Cambria Firestorm of Animals. They got the conclusion that is absolutely different to Darwin's Evolution Theory.

Darwin has ever been confused by the Cambria Firestorm of Animals. According to Darwin's theory, the great variety of species is the consequence of gradual evolution. He said he could not explain the fact of life-form fossils that occurred suddenly in the early Cambria, or 0.53 billion years ago.

The findings, more than 120 animal fossils , that Nanjing Geologic Ancient Life-form Research Institute found in 1984 show us a vivid ocean life world of early Cambria. The fossils are a key to crack the Cambria Riddle.

The researchers found that, after 20-year study, almost all species of animals that live in the planet now, have occurred in the Cambria. That is, the animals are not arise and develop through the gradual evolution taken great long.

this sort of implies that somebody called Cracked Cambria Riddle wrote Chinese.....

i don't know if I'm judging your meaning correctly but maybe - Cracked Cambria Riddle makes Chinese Researchers Challenge Evolutionism


Researchers of CAS (Chinese Academy of Science) proved that all progenitors of animals have ever been in the same scratch line.

here I don't understand 'scratch line' - is it a technical/scientific term or an error in English? I don't know! I sort of read it as a line of evolution???

if so then maybe Researchers of CAS (Chinese Academy of Science) proved that all progenitors of animals evolve from the same scratch line?

I've probably missed bits but I'm sure the others will sort it out and may understand the scratch line thing

Hi Vivien,

The definition from AHD:
scratch line
n. Sports
A starting line for a race.

So I think just using "starting line" might be bette and not so easy to be misunderstood.

Yeah, suing "by cracked Cambria Riddle" is an interesting "error" that can be easily mixed up with "the line for author". I really meant: Cracked Cambria Riddle makes Chinese Researchers Challenge Evolutionism.

Now the headline is like this:
Chinese Researchers Crack Cambria Era Riddle
to Challenge Evolutionism


Do you think it is proper?

Id venture a guess that they are talking about what we call "The Cambrian Explosion" when animals with hard shells first appeared as fossils seemingly all at once. The "explosion" aspect has been losing credibility as new fossil assemblages of earlier and earlier dates have been found in the last 25 years and study work has been completed.
Id agree that "The scratch line" is a colloquial term meaning starting point.

The findings, if I understand your translation, dont disprove Darwin, they merely push the starting point for a diverse fossil assemblage back earlier, probably closer to the fossil ages of the Australian early fossil assemblage. The word Cambrian is used in English after the Cambria "type" area in England. SO its actually a possessive term meaning "of Cambria type system"

Can you post a link Oristar? even in Chinese. I can have one of my colleagues translate. This is an area of interest to me and I like to keep up .

we'd use the phrase 'starting from scratch' routinely so it is obviously from the same origin - but scratch line is not something used here - starting line is indeed better.

interesting article by the way
