If you wish to draw a line in the continuum of biological change beyond which further difference is impossible please state that line and why it exists... other than 'because I said so.'
The empirically observable genetic entropy rates are far too great. You’d have better luck walking those billion miles.

What proof?

Or is this just another 'because I said so?'
You’re not familiar with the documented rates of genetic entropy?

The one-way speed of light can be stipulated to have positional dependence rather than velocity dependence.

Generational rates of genetic entropy are far too great for that many generations to be viable. Just as I cannot walk a billion miles because I cannot live long enough to do so, all life cannot arise from one single ancestor because the genetic information cannot survive the numbers of replications necessary to do so.
