Your argument about the unguided probability fails because over the time frame from the late Hadean to the present, this becomes sufficient to explain both the diversity within and similarities between the forms of life observed on earth, including both living forms directly observed in the present, and extinct form indirectly observed from the fossil record.

Also good job at avoiding the question, lots of words but no answer,so lets try this different way and this time give straight answer.

So how do you explain the fact that we never find any trilobites above the Permian strata, and why we never find dinosaurs above the cretaceous strata?

Which is really a matter of opinion...

Length of time notwithstanding, probability is against the level of complexity arising spontaneously that scientists claim. There's the mentality that since we're here, it must have happened, but that's just rationalizing it away.

None of the *scientific* explanations for origins are anywhere near adequate. There's simply not enough known about early earth history to justify their pronouncements about how life began. And before you go off on how origins are not part of the ToE, without origins, there could be no ToE.

So, variation within species and natural selection aside, which can and does explain a lot, life itself originating unaided is just not feasible.

THAT's the big weakness of the no-God scientific worldview.

I know of no mechanism that could separate out fossils into distinct categories like that. That's what I consider one of the complications of the young earth Flood scenario.
