Not trying to argue one way or another, but this kinda sounds like trying to reason about rock erosion caused by water by watching a mountain stream flow for 5 minutes.

We have a pretty detailed snapshot of life now, some fossils, and a general understand of biology.

I think you could actually get pretty far at understanding erosion if you had a pretty detailed snapshot of interesting river basins, some landmarks (this rock was over there, etc) and a general understanding of physics.
