No it isn't. Do you ever bother to learn anything about anything?

And a photographer is eminently qualified to make such judgments on
matters of biology.

That's a new one from you. How do you measure "clever"?

I'm curious as to what you think the parallel is here, because it's
far from obvious. Are you saying the first life forms were much larger
than one-celled animals, and that life became more complex as it got
smaller? Please clarify, because you're making no sense at all.

Compared to what? Measured how?

As with "complex", how is "simple" defined here? More importantly, how
is it quantified? And "simple" in comparison to what?

I believe that this whole post is clear evidence that you are
*extremely* simple-minded.

Ok, let me get this straight: a photographer thinks that one-celled
organisms aren't "simple", therefore, your particular brand of
Christianity is true? That's unusually stupid even for you, Dave.
BTW, while we're on the topic of Christian prayer, why address it to
Jesus? He told people to pray to his Father in Heaven, not to him;
that's where we get the "Our Father" from.
