Clearly, since the "giant mushrooms" and "primordial soup" were separated by 3 billion years (75% of the earth's existence)

Yes, they're called "offspring". You are basically assuming that an organism has the same eye color as it's 800 millionth great grandparent.
- ThomPete 8y agoI am aware of the difference between primordial soup and mushrooms :) dont think im assuming something, just trying to think through whether the emergent complexity process started way back or if its something that evolved more recently.
- jamiek88 8y agoThat’s like trying to understand the gravitational effects of dark matter without knowing basic maths. Rather pointless.
- ThomPete 8y agoHow is the pondering of historical occurrence of events that are normally considered part of evolution and thus connected to some extent pointless? I understand the basic "math" so to speak but congrats one scoring some cheap points.
