Is it true that complex organs like the eye have developed over billions of years in a very gradual manner like The Theory of Evolution claims?
How come the data suggests the exact opposite?
Can the theory explain the emergence of compounded eyes (for Trilobites) without proper gradual precursors on the same lineage?
We need to examine the Cambrian explosion (and the Cambrian Era at large) more!

The Cambrian Explosion is a spectacular event in the history of life, 540mya, , where the oceans "suddenly" swarmed with animal life that seemed to have popped into existence within a very short time (w.r.t. the history of life, 11-25mil years).
This event has been raising a question mark whether it can be explained by neo-Darwinian mechanisms, which I argue that it can't! (Namely random mutations and Natural Selection).
In this episode an explanation of the difficulties that the Cambrian Explosion in specific and The Cambrian Era at large pose to the Evolutionary narrative, as during the Cambrian, some 27 out of the 35 Phyla known today came into existence. The body plans (which correspond to the Phyla) that emerged in the Cambrian Explosion and were completed through the rest of the Cambrian Era, represent all what we know today, and almost no new phyla emerged later than the Cambrian. But even, we find that the complex organs and systems that comprise the animals we know today also emerged in the Cambrian period, and without seeing the gradient claimed by the ToE, which necessitates very slow and gradual evolution with precursors.
The implication: The claim that “Random Mutation and Natural Selection” is responsible for the progressive development of life forms is false.

Note for those who would like to engage:
I will continue posting a new episode of "God Exists" every Friday 1pm GMT, starting this Friday, and I will add a Q&A section at the end starting next time, so if you have questions or comments or even challenges about this episode, please do post it in the comments section in the YouTube channel under the video, and I will respond to the relevant ones next time (if you post it before Tuesday).

This is an amazing recent paper estimating the period of the Cambrian Explosion where new phyla started appearing to very short 450 thousand years only (though I maintained the main steam narrative in the video):
