"If the concept of punctuated equilibrium is applied to the global trend of the
increase of functional complexity of organisms (Fig. 1), then it may be argued that rates of
evolution are so unstable that any extrapolation of them into the past is meaningless. [... omissis...] These attempts to explain the presumed origin of life on Earth are strikingly
similar to stretching and shrinking of time scales in Biblical Genesis to fit preconceptions
(Schroeder, 1990)."
