The Special Creation of Protozoans

Yet Another Insignificant Attack on Intelligent Design. From:

According to the Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, which we get for the Spot the Amoeba competition, protozoans do not need a creator to have existed.

Intelligent Design theorists claim that the Cambrian explosion 545 million years ago cannot be explained by Darwinian evolution – because it happened too fast.

Is their not something obnoxious with this statement? How could empirical science suggest protozoa evolved? It cannot. Not every scientist who embraces ID are against evolution totally. But for the sake of the argument lets maintain the writer is not giving a non-truth.

Another ID argument that Protozoans disprove is that no one has ever seen the development of a new species.

However Farmer and Habura have seen a case where amoebae became symbiotically dependent upon infecting bacteria. If the symbotically dependent amoebae subsequently tried to interbreed with the parent stock, the parent stock died of the bacterial infection. Thus the two became genetically isolated.

This is the same old argument for evolution that has been used over the decades. Those that disagree with evolution do not discount that genetic changes do take place. This is common Mendelian Genetics at work. The distinct genetic populations do not show an increase in genomic information, but a loss.

Lastly the ID argument that that the fossil record does not show transitional species do not apply to protozoans as there is a detailed fossil record of protists does exhibit just such intermediate forms.

Once again different species of protozoa in a fossil does not declare evolution any more than fossils of dog and a horse in the same rock layer.

Looks like a protozoa can make a monkey out of intelligent design theory.

ummmm I don't think so.
