of analogy, random additions of sentences to the plays of Shakespeare are
not likely to improve them! …The principle that DNA changes are harmful
by virtue of reducing survival chances applies whether a change in DNA is
caused by a mutation or by some foreign genes we deliberately add to it. 328

The claims put forward by evolutionists are not based on scientific
experiments, because no such thing as one bacterium swallowing another
one has ever been observed. In his review of a later book by Margulis,
Symbiosis in Cell Evolution, molecular biologist P. Whitfield describes the
situation:
Prokaryotic endocytosis is the cellular mechanism on which the whole of
S.E.T. (Serial Endosymbiotic Theory) presumably rests. If one prokaryote
could not engulf another it is difficult to imagine how endosymbioses could
be set up. Unfortunately for Margulis and S.E.T., no modern examples of
prokaryotic endocytosis or endosymbiosis exist… 329

The Origin of Photosynthesis

Another matter regarding the origin of plants which puts the theory
of evolution into a terrible quandary is the question of how plant cells
began to carry out photosynthesis.
Photosynthesis is one of the fundamental processes of life on earth.
By means of the chloroplasts inside them, plant cells produce starch by
using water, carbon dioxide and sunlight. Animals are unable to produce
their own nutrients and must use the starch from plants for food instead.
For this reason, photosynthesis is a basic condition for complex life. An
even more interesting side of the matter is the fact that this complex
process of photosynthesis has not yet been fully understood. Modern
technology has not yet been able to reveal all of its details, let alone
reproduce it.
How is it that evolutionists believe such a complex process as
photosynthesis is the product of natural and random processes?
According to the evolution scenario, in order to carry out
photosynthesis, plant cells swallowed bacterial cells which could
photosynthesize and turned them into chloroplasts. So, how did bacteria
learn to carry out such a complex process as photosynthesis? And why
had they not begun to carry out such a process before then? As with other
