Did millions of years fly by with no discernible effect? A possible though controversial inference is that our geological clocks and stratigraphic concepts need working on." William R.

→Young earth creation scientists view: removing creationist criticism, should be on geological systems page, redundant to have it on every geological time period page
The Ordovician period is a theorized second period in the theorized [[Paleozoic]] era. It is posited that it started approximately 500 million years ago after the end of the theorized [[Cambrian]] era. Most of the phyla which are living today is posited to have existed at the beginning of the Ordovician period by those who assert that the earth is billions of years old. [[Theory of evolution|Evolutionary]] scientists assert by the end of the Ordovician period, the first land plants, bryophytes, evolved and began to colonize the land. The Ordovician also is claimed to have seen the [[evolution]] of [[fish]]. The Ordovician is posited to have preceded by the [[Cambrian]] era and succeeded by the [[Silurian]] era.
