You eat too many pretzels, try to think logically, why would a designer tinker in only one small epoch and that conveniently 550mil yrs ago? You cannot even begin to conceptualize what a long gap or short gap is or much about the changing conditions then. Especially in a completely aquatic environment (that was a vast ocean) with many different locales/ ecosystems for all these changes to occur. Changes do happen rapidly at certain times, especially after what they believe was a snow/slush earth & life had already been developing for 2.5bil yrs. One only imagines simply that first stage would be the longest during which the geology undrgoes transformation, the cyanobacteria initiates an oxygen cycle , vast amounts of iron oxidizes & precipitates out etc.

They just really don't know how life has developed and have no idea why. They do now , even what is non living systems can & do evolve into more complex 1rst tier organic systems, (folding proteins) its called "Emergence" . Silly pretzel minded fellow, its not that things are irreducibly complex, its about emerging complexity which we witness happening even on the basic quantum mechanic levels, more complex systems emerge only needing the synergy of the most elementary forces & basic particles combining into new aggregate forms & new emergent structures. We don't call whats happening in the Sun "irreducible fusion", just the opposite, we have emergent new forms of molecular joinings (new heavier elements) which is only the beginning. The night sky is filled with emergent complexity! * Irreducible complexity is just plain stupid from every perspective, now see the light!
