A new article in bbc news at https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cgxqdygpn09o explains how X-ray analysis has now revealed details of a tiny 520-million-year-old beginning arthropod, from the early Cambrian period. These anatomical details include a primitive nervous system and blood circulation system.
This shows that the entire new body plan of the first ancestors of modern insects, spiders and crabs somehow "evolved" in a relatively short period of time (in evolutionary terms) at the beginning of the Cambrian, which period is known to have dated from 545 to 525 million years ago.
The analysis only reconfirms with hard data that the paradigmal neo-Darwinian undirected random mutation plus natural selection evolutionary model just can't account for the "Cambrian Explosion", the sudden (in evolutionary time sense) emergence of all the complex new animal body plans over 500 million years ago, which emergence is shown by the actual fossil record.
This confirms the operation of Intelligent Design in the process (the intervention of some sort of intelligent agent(s), purposely designing the new irreducibly complex biological innovations). The fossil record according to this x-ray analysis unequivocally shows the development of the arthropod body plan somehow taking place in somewhere between 5 million and 25 million years at the beginning of the Cambrian, which period is grossly inadequate for neo-Darwinistic evolution even if this undirected semi-random-walk process could work as its believers claim.
There is absolutely no sign in the fossil record of the long slow neo-Darwinistic process gradually developing these new body plans in the aeons before the Cambrian explosion. Aside from this, ID theory has well established several strong arguments why the Darwinian process and its revisions just won't work for anything but minor adaptive micro-evolutionary changes, especially the presence of many irreducibly complex body systems that due to the irreducible complexity just couldn't have come about that way.
