Regardless of whether you buy the latter, it is silly to say that evolution requires that a single cell can develop an organ system. Evolutionary mechanisms are the subject of great debate and theories like those of Gould and Margulis continue to move the field forward - regardless of how attractive or ugly their authors might be.

1 mutation that could do it, or a step towards it. that's all I ask.
Evolution is pretty certain- we've actually found a frozen mastodon, it's hard to not get it became elephants. But the gaps aren't just tiny gaps that are nitpicking- they're huge- big enough for Penske's first wife to run through big. Why does Seb say I'm crazy for merely saying you guys shouldn't be so sure, when YOU CAN"T EVEN GIVE ME A THEORY- fuck testable, I'll throw that out- just give me one possible mutation that could lead to organ systems.
