I appreciate you comments on the veracity of this finding. Now, I have
another question. Does this fit into the general objection of "sudden
appearances." It seems to one not following this in great detail that this
pushes back the appearance of early complex life and presents a real delima
in terms of providing enough calender time for gradualistic development.
