Considering many of the single and multicellular complex phyla came into existence during the Cambrian explosion (though not entirely as is mentioned), and from the laundry list you provided above as only one example of the current state of guesswork on the part of evolutionary theory, I'd say it's much more than a rewarding activity, it is critically important to evolutionary theory since it deals with the origins of life.
Well you sound like a creationist and you espouse many of the classic creationist arguments and viewpoints. You really should sign on to the â??Answers in Genesisâ? website â??? you'd probably like it. Cool scientific pictures of dinosaurs squashing cavemen...that sort of thing
The Cambrian explosion was not the origin of life, not by a very long shot â??? billions of years actually.
The Cambrian explosion was the origin of creatures with hard parts and legs. A truly fascinating chapter in the evolution of life.
