✹ One of the questions that
leaves Darwinists in a quandary is
why these microorganisms make
such huge efforts for the sake of life on
Earth. Why does a bacterium decide to
provide the Earth with oxygen? Why does a
mite feel the need to cleanse its environment?
Why do algae provide food for the fungi they inhabit?
Why does a virus even smaller than a bacterium invade
living cells, and cause an organism billions of times larg-
er than itself to fall ill or even die?
✹ Or why are microorganisms indispensable for certain proc-
esses? For example, why can't we absorb Vitamin K directly from
the food we eat, and depend on bacteria to meet that need? Why
cannot plants absorb nitrogen, one of their fundamental require-
ments and which makes up 80% of the atmosphere, directly from
