PRECAMBRIAN PREDECESSORS


Primordial organisms nebulous manifestation purportedly and strictly based on my cumulative yet quite limited fount of knowledge. The following geological intimation gleaned from two score over the edge of seventeen years dawn to dusk personal fin de siecle cyclical decades episodes. Other than my own cognition, fruition instigating lambent outlook, the theoretical timber spewed rock ribbed quackery lacks any semblance of experiential conscious awareness vis a vis pursuant sans a degree within the cosmological sciences.

As a self anointed indomitable species (Homo sapiens) garnered an outstanding nominally measured learning kickstarter knowledge jangling insight housing heavenly gamut. Such cerebral fixation intimates language ordaining how we quantify pantheon of nebulous matter. Ever since bipedal hominids gazed skyward, an attempt made (initially feeble) to codify galactic phenomena. Asper the lingo linkedin with manifold other specialties and/or trades, an generic, esoteric and cryptic language developed to limit only the brightest stars to become privy leaning concepts.

Over time, the those who painstakingly scrutinized the lifelock secrets (cultivating elaborate schemas sans cosmological mystery) selfishly identityguard discoveries did prized information coveted foster what we deem to be supreme mental acuity to comprehend mind boggling concept of Biological Evolution from whence (steeped in the rubric of Evolution) unicellular entities manifested into the vast differentiation of life.

In general, I as an ordinary male mortal human being born within the latter half of twentieth century (Anno Domini) now mentally marinate, and try to pontificate and understand the inestimable billions of years that elapsed and transpired from that initial incarnation of terrestrial events .

The barest essence of that schema quantified as existence (which incorporated random combinations and permutations moderated via survival of fittest theoretical proposition) essentially conspiring to promulgate a barely discernable genetic connection that over millions of millennia later traced little electrical arcs that spanned the microcosmic gaps between the axons and synapses constituting the definitive lineage extant within said writer of these words.

No particular rhyme nor reason constitutes this personal intent to apprise and self actualize the vast task to take stock of basic trappings percolating in so called primordial ooze (an incomprehensible number of billions years in the distant past), which natural laboratory nearly comprising the entire planet Earth harbored critical and essential atomic and/or molecular composition eventually distilling original progenitors inhabiting the various and sundry animal and plant world.

Impossible for me as a non-scientific person to gauge the innumerable eons and epochs that passed with little or no measurable alteration nor modification extant within that brew containing rawest components identified as living forms!

A gross hunch prompts this layman to hypothesize the passage of imponderable blocks of time whereby a stasis condition prevailed. Difficult to understand what natural forces and processes set in motion a chain reaction that unleashed profound explosions (most likely registered as imperturbable repercussions within the salty brine) that instigated punctuated equilibrium.

Once the watery expanse (more pointedly isolated and specific pockets within the infant seas) housed these very tentative kernels, the elements at large contributed a slightly more favorable climate to allow, enable, promote coalescence of greater amalgamation and assimilation among the invisible amorphous precursors to become far flung fauna and flora.

Inscrutable to assess the ambient chemical solution(s) that served as distillery for gradual trials and tribulations that unbridled compounds developed, which tandem mergers (possibly the very first leveraged buyout offerings) insinuated subsequent exponential occurrences granting increased infiltration among more complex units.

Prestigious professionals possess far greater capacity and knowledge to explain undulations and variations that affected and brought about jolt, which factors loosed and/or unleashed the tectonic prowess to describe burst spectrum of life!

Kingdoms distinctly qualified as either animal or plant inhabitants way to premature this formative birth (day) of pseudo kinetic energies!

These earliest hosts to occupy the warm saline hydrosphere more or less at the mercy of oceanic currents!

They lacked deterministic criteria, somehow devised appurtenances to augment replication. This propensity to duplicate offspring in an asexual manner retained the legacy of core nucleic record.

Simultaneous within each somewhat unique band or clump of miniscule flotsam and jetsam occurred the fluke symbiotic relationship that abetted greater manifestation of marine based denizens to populate suitably temperate oceans.

If this one deep thinker could interpolate and postulate per the view, he might be privy to behold an argot of chimerical dust mote like shapes and sizes presenting a myriad kaleidoscopic, scintillating display of utmost breath-taking beautiful sight across the glistening miasma!

In truth, not one living soul ever experienced the microscopic hybrids, which concoctions of chance, fate and Mother Nature held the gamut of diversification within primitive coils and strands of DNA.

Such latent potential forecasting, per the exotic and varied jumble offered up by the creative powers thriving in the organic, nutrient rich baths at some juncture in the space/time continuum spawned the era for substantial life to illustrate the subterranean vistas!

Many pages, chapters and more accurately volumes recorded via the hand of said universal creator the veritably unchanging drama that predominated across the ideally supercharged wetlands.

This lapse of eons (manifold lengthier than the dawn of civilization until this present twenty first century after the death of Jesus Christ) incomprehensible!

Now try to imagine, these nascent nodules of nuclear nectar keeping intact within a Byzantine cellular paradigm.

Numerous descriptive words such as indecipherable, ineluctable, inscrutable frequently rack and reverberate within my self-provoked mind when pondering such awesome notions.

Just like every other bipedal creature happenstance brought into this world, I too contemplate questions about the spark that triggered the onset known as spectrum of biosphere.

A personal manuscript of low research caliber perhaps conveniently quantified as fictional. Improper and impolite for such stream of consciousness musings to attest as true when little or no expertise provides a privilege to claim authenticity and veracity.

This exposition of feelings, ideas and thoughts pertaining to the age-old question yields to the domain lodged within the psychic makeup of this here one and only individual!

For reasons unbeknownst to himself suddenly entertains such an awesome concept and only wishes to capitalize on some literary skill to organize such sentiments into some semblance of cogent paragraphs.

Damn near impossible to capture infinitely occurring poetic flashes of insight and queries that flit to and fro within the center of thinking and I realize this essay to represent a poor approximation of the vibrant jungle of prose that beckons to be carefully trod with a custom made scythe.

Lest an elusive prey escape, the return to a former point of existential pontification will be brought back with a gentle massage to scalp to invigorate the dozing rapscallions, which fire up the axons and neurons.

This mind bending exercise to scrutinize the seething hospitable cauldron harboring the seeds of genesis, which reacted favorably to the ramifications in such fecund brew once again entertained more so as a way to while away leisure minutes and also perhaps to receive commendable feedback.

I embark on a rather exceptional task to organize bombardment of ruminations ricocheting within the corpus gray matter in the cranium otherwise known as the brain.

Difficult if not downright impossible to codify this Herculean task in some clear and logical manner present assault pertaining to an unexpected preoccupation about realm affiliated as the eminent domain of intelligentsia filling the ranks and file of scholarly professors.

I do not purport to excel nor outflank prestigious personages who spent extensive years examining biota, but merely intended to compile an essay based on current fount of knowledge resorting to my own insight into the commingling of events that brought forth this awesome zoological maelstrom.

Those most learned and smartest experts dedicated to search for some clues holding the secrets per supreme mystery probably experience bafflement and stymied investigations.

Not for me to challenge nor trespass their doctrinal thesis substantiated by ample footnotes.

No!

A peculiar frenzy holds extreme fascination to explain in some understandable fashion my view of this schema signaling stratification from sparse sporadic globules (no doubt mere specks) giving rise to abundant hierarchy of life.

In truth, an analysis of myself accidentally led me on this metaphysical journey to consider history of humankind.

A swirl of intrigue motivates self- discipline epitomizing a quest to understand aspects inherent since birth and/or appearing later since a newborn.

Circumspection about entire ancestry might never be feasible, but his mental stretch could possibly offer a glimmer of present trials and tribulations by glimpsing back in the remote past.

Without obedience to stated precedents and protocols and objection against poring over tombs in the reference section of libraries, I do bias this epistle perjure my theory of the cosmos and undermine the believability of numerable statement

None of these words ought to be accepted as the gospel according to Matthew Scott! Each and every sentence to be read as fictionalized fact.

I sought some salvation from exploring this mental journey within to yield a product that offers cleansing of soul.

Psychic angst riddles mindset of an ordinary guy woven (like delicate and silken threads) since that faint, first tapestry strand coaxed from miraculous spate of incidents.

Now let me get back to brass tacks and return to the former epistemological focus of this treatise!

Flourish of material approximating a masquerade of organisms occurred early in the geologic history of this oblate spheroid frequently alluded as the emerald in the sky!

Rather than ascribe any particulars to this concept, I affirm that way back thru the fog and mist of space/time contiuum unbridled activities ushered the ideal milieu to groom the physical environment for plentiful outburst of bio-diversity to materialize.

At some indiscriminate occasion fantastic forces affected a propensity for quiet explosion to rock the firmament. Still, no definitive entities would be visible in the two hydrogen atoms plus one oxygen atom special elixir!

Many tens of thousands of sheets contained in the geologic epic writ large (and small) via (some might vouchsafe by benevolent hand of a benign creator) must be flipped until a more robust sample exemplifying a similar facsimile labeled animal or plant identified.

Here and there one might discern the features resembling so named simplest (in terms of cellular structure) beings that could very well represent our earliest progenitors.

As one fast-forwards additional, these leafs from metaphorical copious text, a noticeable proliferation of multitudinous, multifarious, mellifluous) critters dotted the landscape.

Analogous to abracadabra magic or sleight of hand, a bounty of teeming hosts luxuriated in glorious mornings.

Most if not all these characters thrived in the lavish liquid lowlands. Proletariats by default, a small minority would emigrate to the lush, solid and vegetation covered ground.

Such segue-way from aquatic to terrestrial habitués entailed passage of a good many hundreds of thousands more revolutions or Earth round the sun.

An up tick in the in the energetic flux spurred logarithmic poufs and more radical pulses and waves as an after affect of the Godlike wizard wand, which wrought prestidigitatious preponderance of nubile budding pods beckoning rambunctious awakening diadems to expand in quantity.

Gregarious landlubbers soon slithered from the ooze, which if fast forward photography present would portray a migration of wormlike wonder-kinds.

This lugubrious delineation from one mortal amongst the seven plus billion who in this closing year of two thousand and eleven predicts that mother nature will usurp the law of the might to overturn our temporary pyrrhic victory to dominate planet earth!

As an indomitable measure of what we deem to be supreme mental acuity to comprehend the mind boggling concept of Biological Evolution from whence unicellular entities manifested into the vast differentiation of life.
