Sorry I haven't really been in this thread, but I gotta pop in and say something about this.

First of all, since you said animals, we're talking protozoa, which I believe are still loosely in the animal kingdom. Now there are thousands of different single cells, some of them being parasites, which as we all know, feast on other cells. Other, more simple cells, such as single cell flagellates or amoeboid protozoa can eat using lysosomes to actually ingest themselves. (like what happens to a tadpole's flagellan tail when it becomes a frog)

Another rule of thought would be multiple single-celled organisms forming at once (why must there be only one?) Some single cells would produce faster, and would probably be the target of the pseudopods on amoebas, etc.



There's a lot of flaws with Darwin's original theory, but he is only one man and it's only been a short period of time. The bible has had how many years to correct its errors?

The problem is, too many people take what's written in the bible as undeniable proof. Darwin has a theory, but Christianity is a belief. The problem is, you can change theories depending on what seems to be the most fact. It's harder for people to change what they believe.
