Under suitable conditions, bacteria
can divide and double their num-
bers every 10 to 30 minutes. A sin-
gle bacterium can produce millions
more in just 10 to 12 hours.
The evolutionist James A.
Shapiro admits that that these de-
tailed features they possess make
bacteria complex living things:
Although bacteria are tiny, they display biochemical, structural and
behavioral complexities that outstrip scientific description. In keep-
ing with the current microelectronics revolution, it may make more
sense to equate their size with sophistication rather than with sim-
plicity. . . . Without bacteria, life on Earth could not exist in its pre-
sent form. 7
The Australian professor of biochemistry Michael Denton ex-
THE MICROWORLD MIRACLE regarding a bacterium cell, with its various effects, forming as the
presses the inconsistency and impossibility of evolutionist claims
result of a combination of coincidences:
The complexity of the simplest known type of cell is so great that it
is impossible to accept that such an object could have been thrown
