editar- "Resíduos fósseis de formas de vida antigas descobertas nas rochas não revelam um simples começo. Embora possamos nos importar em pensar em bactérias fósseis e algas fósseis e microfungi como sendo simples em comparação com um cão ou cavalo, o padrão de informação permanece extremamente alto. A maior parte da complexidade bioquímica da vida já estava presente na época em que as rochas superficiais mais antigas da Terra foram formadas."
- - Fossil residues of ancient life-forms discovered in the rocks do not reveal a simple beginning. Although we may care to think of fossil bacteria and fossil algae and microfungi as being simple compared to a dog or horse, the information standard remains enormously high. Most of the biochemical complexity of life was present already at the time the oldest surface rocks of the Earth were formed.
