The universe moves at turtle pace. We, the observers, live a very brief period of time, if you compare the scale, then we keep thinking that everything happens as a flash. You need at least a 100K years of Darwinism improvement to get that Cheetah to that speed. I don't call that fast. Only the ones that happened to be fast enough lived to reproduce offspring that carried the genetic material that make one of those big cats fast. We observe a phenomenon as happening very fast, but that is a snap shot. Observed the whole development of a phenomenon it happened a turtle pace. A comet that passes our orbit every 76 years? Lets use lightning: That discharge may take some micro seconds, but the build up of the charges takes hours. Forest fires? To get it started you need a seed, proper humidity, amount of sun light, then the vegetation has to grow, then they have to die, dry up, pile up a lot of dried up material, so that you have enough of it to burn even the live trees. That takes time. Even CDMA is developing at turtle pace, look in ten years time and we will see that it developed at turtle pace.
