> where random gene modifications are just not probable enough to drive evolution. 3 billion DNA pairs cannot evolve randomly, there is not enough time and matter in the universe to randomly try successful generations of life forms.
As a biologist, I don't think this really follows. From my perspective of studying life, 3 billion DNA pairs can definitely evolve randomly - it's not even really that hard. Eukaryotic life just happened to get that because the fitness deficit from the retrotransposons weren't too bad. On the contrary, I can't actually see how bioelectric could drive evolution - only the creation of more complex structures
