rium is still alive today, having undergone no changes. The real dis-
appointment for evolutionists, however, is that it is one of the most
complex bacteria known! This cyanobacterium, with a capability to
perform photosynthesis, is definitely not regarded as a simple form
of life by modern-day scientists. It is at this point that the evolution-
ist claim suffers a major defeat. The fossil record shows that bacte-
ria of 3.85 billion years ago had the same properties as they do to-

day.
Researches have shown that the Earth's becoming able to sus-

tain life dates back to exactly those times. In other words, the com-
plex structures of bacteria that we'll discuss in later chapters
emerged not through impossible gradual coincidences, through a
long process of trial and error, but suddenly—as the specific com-
ponent of a superior plan.

Furthermore, the sudden coming to life from a state of lifeless-
ness, is impossible, no matter how simple an entity may be. No nat-
ural mechanism has the power to produce animate matter from in-
animate. Even if water, soil and air remain combined for billions of
years, they still lack the directed consciousness to produce life, or
attain the superior structure that life requires. Viewed from that
perspective, bacteria are not in fact simple organisms at all, as evo-
lutionists would have us believe, as you can see in evolutionist cal-
culations regarding the chances of a bacterium's emerging sponta-
