Eugene Koonin and two friends from the NIH went tree-hunting. They examined almost 7,000 genomes of prokaryotes. They found trees all right – a whole forest of them. They even found 102 NUTs (nearly universal trees) in the forest. Unfortunately, it’s not what they wanted to find: a single universal tree of life that Darwin’s theory requires. They had to seriously consider the question: was there a biological big bang?

Isn’t it amazing the lengths the Temple of Darwin will go to avoid scientific fact that evolution can not be responsible for the major jumps in the development of life on earth?

 

 

 

 

Why does Darwin's theory require that these two friends be able to locate a universal tree? Why does it require that the tree exists to this day?  How does the tree fit into Darwin's theory in your view?

All of these questions are vital to a serious discussion on the story presented in your OP.
