You dare doubt the authority of a Computer?

I keep wondering how a single cell with three billion bites of information evloved so quickly. I mean at one mutation per year your looking at three biilon years. That sounds like a mighty fast rate of mutate.

I doubt you can expect that Nobel Prize just yet. The mutation rate for unicellulars is usually a lot better than 1 per day, much less 1 per year. We're talking about organisms that in many cases tend to divide every few minutes.

And then you have that the Earth is 4.5 billion years old. And then you have that lots of experiments are going on in parallel with the best out-competing the rest.

Your model doesn't look very realistic.

I don't have to "wonder", I know. That's because I've bothered to educate myself on this subject.

Here, read this and then get back to us when you have a better grasp of the mindboggling number of "evolutionary events" which occur in reality (as opposed to in your imagination).
