And I agree with you that they are a devastating riposte to anyone who believes in chance. But I wonder why your God would directly dabble or preprogramme the “marriage” between bacteria and black squid/fish when his sole purpose was to directly design H. sapiens. However, the versatility of microbes suggests that they are remarkably intelligent – a gift perhaps bestowed on them by your God! :-)
