Over a billion years, a whole lot can happen. Universes are created a destroyed. You're analyzing in your mind, using your short, human, compartmentalized notion of time (and what can happen over short intervals) a theory involving minor mutations taking place over incredibly long periods of time. You're evaluating the swings of blue chips using criteria one would apply to tech penny stocks.
The "incredible systems" you cite are not that incredible at all when you conssider the expanse of time nature has had to work on them. If I had 500 years to live, I assure you, I could beat Tiger Woods silly at Augusta by the time I was 435.
