I'm claiming that the massive gap in morphology and function between pre-C and C biota is not consistent with the theory of evolution.
You haven't demonstrated that this gap is real. Please show us all of the species that lived during that time.
Where is the vast number of transitional fossils that are required to bridge the huge gap?
You claim they don't exist, so prove it.
You need similarities to form a nested hierarchy.
And that's what living species have, similarities.
I can't see how the profound dissimilarities between pre-C biota and C biota can form a nested hierarchy.
You are forgetting about the similarities.

You seem to be to be at odds with science itself ... I've been told repeatedly that science doesn't prove anything.
In common parlance, prove means proven beyond a reasonable doubt, and that definitely applies to common ancestry.
Nice try, con-man, but no cigar. By saying "It proves common ancestry and evolution", you've painted yourself into a corner - since science can't prove it, no one can prove it. So you've uttered a falsehood.

Re: Typical?

No, Taq was right. Nested hierarchy proves common ancestry and evolution.
You don't like that fact so you try to ignore it.

Re: Typical?
Not at all. I accept that nested hierarchies exist within phyla. What's lacking, viz-a-viz the theory of evolution, are fossil links between the various phyla, which are necessary if one wants to claim that the entire fossil record forms a nested hierarchy.

Not lacking, but, unknown to you.
Have you ever been to a natural history museum? If you go you can actually see some of these lacking transitionals.

Apparently you are unaware of the genetic evidence which forms a nested hierarchy between the phyla.
