Darwin's Dilemma: The Mystery Of The Cambrian Fossil Record (2009)


Highly anticipated...the final film in Illustra Media's Intelligent Design Trilogy!

Darwin's Dilemma examines what many consider to be the most powerful refutation of Darwinian evolution - the Cambrian fossil record.

The Cambrian explosion has been called the most spectacular event in the history of life, for in a moment of geological time complex animals first appeared on earth fully formed, without evidence of any evolutionary ancestors. Now, the producers of Club favorites, The Privileged Planet and Unlocking the Mystery of Life complete their Intelligent Design Trilogy with Darwin's Dilemma: The Mystery of the Cambrian Fossil Record.

Charles Darwin realized that the fossil evidence did not support his theory of gradual, step-by-step evolutionary development. He hoped that future generations of scientists would make the discoveries necessary to validate his ideas.

Today, after more than 150 years of exploration fossil evidence of slow, incremental biological change has yet to be excavated. Instead, we find a picture of the rapid appearance of fully developed, complex organisms during the outset of the Cambrian geological era. Organisms that embody the major animal body plans that exist today. This remarkable explosion of life is truly Darwin's Dilemma and is best explained by the existence of a transcendent intelligence.

"The fossil record had caused Darwin more grief than joy. Nothing distressed him more than the Cambrian explosion." - Stephen Jay Gould, Paleontologist
