CHAPTER 1: THE CAMBRIAN EXPLOSION
The Cambrian Explosion represents one of the most abrupt changes in the entire fossil record. Below the Cambrian, some relatively simple organisms are known, but above the Cambrian, an “explosion” of complex animals appears for the first time. DARWIN’S DILEMMA begins with computer animation of some of these creatures, then tells the story of the Burgess Shale in Canada where spectacular fossils of Cambrian animals came to light in the early 20th century.
DARWIN’S DILEMMA is based on the book Darwin’s Doubt by Dr Stephen Meyer. Production was completed in 2009. The documentary presents fossil evidence that defies Darwinian evolution and supports Meyer’s argument that the Cambrian fossil record gives strong evidence for intelligent design.
