Extra: Flying Cambrian Rabbit God Cult
It is said that the great evolutionist and geneticist Haldane replied, "A precambrian rabbit," when asked what kind of observations would make him abandon his belief in evolution. "To date, no fossils of this type have been found.

……
One day in 2020, Spielberg, an extremely paranoid biologist who was a staunch creationist, or intelligent designist, despite his mastery of molecular biology, seemed to be innate. For no reason.
Thereupon...... He has great ambitions!
"I'm going to travel back in time and space to the Cambrian and bury a rabbit!"
Deceive oneself as well as others! Isn't it? This is the kind of fantasy that has come true, and it has no effect on whether the theory of evolution is true or not! What changes is the perception of the world, not the truth!
However...... Who said he could travel through time? I can't help it! The concubine can't do it!
At this time, the biologist set a great ambition!
He believes that there must be some people around the world who have a similar attitude to him.
Among them are some scientists.
Not just biologists, but probably physicists – this is crucial.
And, possibly, genius among physicists.
And, possibly, paranoia.
It is almost impossible for many people to be like this.
However, if there is such a probability, it will do.
He got into action.
He wants to find those "colleagues" and do the amazing thing he has in mind.
……
This requires the following points, including three hardware conditions and two conditions related to the law of cause and effect. There is also a string attached.
The hardware conditions are as follows:
(1) There is a need to find a mechanism to return to the past in the future.
(2) A rabbit needs to be buried somewhere in the precambrian strata.
(3) For more careful considerations, it is necessary to have a stable "space-time coordinate".
The conditions for the law of cause and effect are as follows:
(1) Until the biologist came up with such an idea, these "artificial fossils" could not be discovered. So far, I haven't encountered anything like this, but what if something goes wrong in the future? What's this......
(2) It is okay that fossils have not been discovered until biologists have such ideas. But if the multi-world hypothesis is not considered, then it is possible that fossils have already been discovered before returning to past events, in which case the person who will carry on the mission in future generations needs to ensure that "history" can happen.
Terms & Conditions:
△ Out of the ability to confuse the world to the greatest extent. Fossils must be discovered before the humans of the world (excluding followers of the Flying Cambrian Rabbit Cult) can grasp or even begin to grasp the mechanisms associated with traveling in time. And the mechanism of going back to time in the past cannot be used by the humans of the world once they have mastered the mechanism, which may be prevented. This means that the Flying Cambrian Rabbit Cult must master technology that is far ahead of the rest of human civilization.
……
Biologists acted.
He worked hard and won a number of major scientific research achievements, including the Nobel Prize twice.
He has traveled to every corner of the earth.
He ventured into new fields such as astrophysics. Trying to determine the "space-time coordinates" of the Earth's past also gave him new ideas.
He uses a variety of means, including psychological suggestion to "have a soul", to find people who share his interests. He's lucky enough to be one of those who buys a lottery ticket and wins the jackpot — because he won a $5 billion jackpot in 2022, which also provided the startup capital for the Flying Cambrian Rabbit Cult. He met more than 100 leading scientists in their fields – all like-minded paranoids.
A religion and a project with a simple, paranoid purpose, boredom, hypocrisy, and childishness, but a means that are grandiose, shocking, and even unimaginably crazy, began to brew.
……
They were all together, there were atheists, there were Christians, there were green believers, there were monks who went mad. There are people from the United States, Russia, Britain, France, and other countries. They include top scientists and some economic, administrative, and managerial talents.
40 years later......
They gathered in Africa.
With the exception of the northern part of the continent, the African continent has been a relatively stable uplift since the Precambrian. The 3 billion-year-old strata in southern Africa have not yet metamorphosed, making it the best pre-Cambrian geological record in the world. Most of the unconformity of the sediments overlying the Archean basement is also non-marine. The Late Paleozoic and Mesozoic strata in Africa are similar to those of South America, India, Australia and Antarctica, and are thought to have belonged to the Gondwana continent with the aforementioned continents.
The African continent is made up of the African Plateau and part of the Alpine Fold Belt. The African Plateau includes the African continent except for the Atlas Mountains on the northwestern edge of the continent from Morocco to Tunisia, the island of Madagascar, and the Arabian Peninsula, which geographically belongs to Western Asia. The Atlas Mountains are part of the Alpine Fold Belt, see Tethys Geology. It is generally believed that the platform part of the African continent has undergone four evolutionary stages: the initial crustal formation stage.
Some ancient land nuclei appeared in south-central Africa in the late Archean period. The continent as a whole has been cratonized by the Shamwa movement 2.5 billion years ago and the Mayombe movement 1.65 billion years ago. In the caprock deposition stage, the internal rupture of the platform forms a rift groove, which becomes a fold belt after tectonic changes. For example, 1.4 billion years ago, the Kibara movement formed the Kibara Burundi Calaviankole Fold Belt. Other stable zones have been reactivated by tectonic movements to become active zones. 6. The 200 million-year-old Katanga Movement, or Pan-African Movement, consolidated Africa as a whole. The Pan-African Movement is the most extensive tectonic activity on the African continent. Rigid African platforms are rarely affected by tectonic movements, and deformation usually occurs in the form of wide basins, such as the Congo Basin, the Kalahari Basin, the Karoo Basin, and the Chad Basin. These basins have undergone Carboniferous-Tertiary caprock deposits, such as the Karui Basin, which is entirely filled by the Karui and has axes up to 6,000 m deep. The later Caledonian and Hercynian and Alpine movements affected only the northwestern margin of the continent and the eastern and western coastal strips.
……
On such an ancient continental platform, South Africa, the Little Karoo Basin, the Congo Bu Caves. Year 2060.
It is the largest of the splendid ancient African cave systems in Kalu, and it is also an important attraction in the Garden Rote and Otshoun areas, which extend for several kilometres to the vast limestone mountains. It is the largest cave system in Africa and is well worth a visit, with beautiful crystals and a fascinating array of tunnels and tunnels that stretch for more than four kilometres, but only some of them are available for tourists.
——
Of course, this time the visitor was a bit special.
All the first believers, led by Spielberg, the first prophet of the Flying Cambrian Rabbit Cult, a true prophet who could not have made any discoveries about it before him (at least not publicly or by him), or else everything would be a joke or a ridiculous or even a catastrophe (though in the unlikely event of a catastrophe), gathered in the depths of the cavern in extreme secrecy.
The Flying Cambrian Rabbit Bible and the Precambrian Gospel are officially released here.
"Science is at a critical juncture. The scientific institute has been trying to keep a vile secret for years:
"A lot of unproven theories are taught to the masses of the people like established facts. Thanks to the heroic efforts of a handful of embarrassment thinkers, the wind of truth swept across the globe.
"Let's talk about evolution. To their credit, in some regions, such as Kansas, advocates of intelligent design have succeeded in making their claim: since neither is considered factual, their alternative theories deserve the same weight as evolutionary theory. When it comes to theory, evolution isn't necessarily the only theory in question, and rightly so.
"There are so many unproven ideas in science that are taught as facts, but they sings out the theory of evolution and says it's 'just a theory.'" In fact, the opposition to teaching evolution is only a further point: there should be alternative theories to give young students a broader basis in their thinking. The intellectuals have made a very convincing and perfectly plausible argument:
"As long as a theory has not been proven, any theory is as good as it.
"Take, for example, the gravitational pull of a large number of particles that attract each other. We know many of the properties of gravity, but we don't know anything about what exactly causes it. Why do particles attract each other? If we review the literature, we will find a lot of material that deals with the nature of gravity, but very little of it deals with the root causes of this attraction.
"Therefore, I formally propose the theory that the Flying Rabbit God is the mastermind behind this strange and often misunderstood force.
"If it's the Flying Rabbit God with his fluffy ears? Pressing down on us and creating this power nirvana?
"You know, he is invisible and undetectable with current instruments, so it is theoretically possible. The fact that the gravitational influence of the Flying Rabbit God has not been proven correct makes it all the more correct.
"We can guess at his motives, and if we assume that doing so will get him in trouble, then there must be a reason why he did it. Maybe he doesn't want us to float from Earth into space, or maybe he touches us to make him feel useful? Who knows......"
"Praise the strain...... Rabit! ”
……
After that, the 300-year long journey will begin.
Generations of followers of the Flying Cambrian Rabbit Cult have spread out, not only in the scientific world, but also in the political, business, media, entertainment and, of course, religious communities......
A network larger and more secretive than the mythical Freemasonry that did not exist began to spread across the globe, and this time, it was the real envelope over the whole world.
Spielberg, who has left the world, has reunited with his father and the Lord, the eternal god of the Flying Rabbit......
Three hundred years have passed.
January 1, 2360 A.D. Orbit near Pluto.
Around a space station, a large wormhole is formed.
Charon, the companion moon of Hades?—— let's put it that way) is gone.
NASA, which had just established a base in Titan, was the first to notice this earth-shattering change.
There is a lot of talk around the world.
……
Yes, the Flying Cambrian Rabbit Cult, when human civilization touched Saturn, had extended its orbit to the Kuiper Belt.
……
600000000 BC.
Ediacaran Period.
There are still more than 50 million years left before the Cambrian period.
…… near Pluto's orbit.
Next to Pluto's orbit, another Charon and the space station appeared at the same time.
Pluto is far away from the Sun at this time, and this change does not affect it at all at the moment.
However, it is difficult to predict the consequences of this change in gravity.
"Sure enough, it is expected that Charon may be brought together ......"
In order to prevent the chaotic effects caused by gravitational changes at the edge of the solar system during the Ediacaran period to the greatest extent, the Flying Cambrian Rabbit Cult has a plan.
As for what will happen in 600 million years......
"I don't care!"
Don't forget, they are followers of the Flying Cambrian Rabbit God Cult. They believe in a religion whose purpose is simple, bigoted, boring, hypocritical, and incredibly naïve, but whose means are grandiose, shocking, and even crazy beyond imagination; Execution, a plan with a simple, paranoid, boring, hypocritical, and childish purpose, but the means are grandiose, shocking, and even crazy unimaginable.
“Rabit!”
From the edge of the solar system, the space-time leap team headed for Earth.
Destroyed by the virtual particle weapon, Charon quietly annihilated in the universe. This is true annihilation, leaving no energy behind.
In fact, it is almost impossible to create a so-called virtual particle weapon.
However, the Flying Cambrian Rabbit Cult overcame unimaginable odds to create this weapon.
Arrival, Karui Basin, South Africa.
Except that there is no life.
There has been little change here.
The space-time leap team did not directly do it, but used real intelligent robots - they are also followers of the Flying Cambrian Rabbit God Cult, and arranged tens of thousands of European hares sealed by liquid oxygen temperature into a huge rabbit-shaped array!
And, use particle beams to burn the "Tapir West Eight Commandments".
The miracle of the Flying Rabbit God is recorded.
It is sealed with basalt as a whole.
Antimatter devices serve as a source of energy.
Properly concealed and sealed on the surface.
Mission accomplished.
"Praise the strain...... Rabit! ”
The Spacetime Leap Team prepares to return.
"Praise the strain...... Rabit! ”
……
2060 A.D., January 12.
On this day, following the disappearance of Charon, the higher intelligent carbon-based organisms on the earth were generally deeply shocked......
The theory of evolution fell apart.
The world's religions are beaten with chickens and eggs.
The scientific community is like five thunderbolts.
A sign of doom? Or is it the Gospel?
In short, the world was shocked!
In the VR projection real-time broadcast, all the advanced intelligent carbon-based creatures can see the divine teaching, and on top of the "Eight Precepts of Tapir", there is also a meaningful proverb -
In the beginning, there was a saying, saying:
"Your ♂ sister ♀!"
At this time, above the earth, in space, all the believers of the Flying Cambrian Rabbit God Cult praised from the bottom of their hearts: "Praise the ...... strain"
“Rabit!”
