Life has existed on Earth for about 4 billion years but multicellular life did not appear until about 1.2 billion years and thus, for most of life history ( more than two-thirds ), life consisted of unicellular life which implies, perhaps surprisingly, the evolutionary move from unicellular to true multicellular life was an extremely hard one.
This research appears to give a clue why; it implies that, as an accident of evolution, there has to just happen to be preexisting facilities in an unicellular species that make it then credible to evolve into multicellular BUT, judging by the fact that it took almost half the history of life (somewhere between 2.1 and 2.7 billion years ago) before eukaryote species evolved to have those facilities, I would guess the chances of those preexisting facilities existing in a unicellular species is not generally very likely to come about.
I reckon that this also implies that, if we find life on another planet, it would probably be just all unicellular and microbial.

evolution isn't 'just' a “ series of accidents” (if that is what you are saying?). Natural selection is inevitable in any environment where there is self-replicating life.
None of the info here implies that evolution didn't happen.
but that God designed structures to support the life properties a little over 6000 years ago.
it implies nothing of the sort. Exactly HOW does any of the info in the link or my post in any way imply that? -can you explain to us all your logical steps of deduction from premise from the info in the link or from my post to the conclusion of "God designed structures" and that 6000 years ago figure....

Our sun is only 1/3 the age of the universe but there are red dwarf's in our galaxy almost as old as the galaxy itself which is something like 12 billion years old.

That is because God had to do His part, which you blindly overlook.

'God' is beyond comprehension so why keep harping on about something you
admit to not understanding?
I would be more at ease if you made a clear differentiation between your own
belief in 'God' and the proposed entity that the bible describes.

So there is no logical contradiction between something improbable occurring and there being no god nor is there a contradiction between there being a god but that god having noting to do with that improbable event -your implied conclusion does not logically follow from your implied premise.

Please, please, please, DON'T FEED THE TROLL! Just ignore it, it's the only way for this forum to survive.
