The workings of many free-living bacteria shows the existence
of a common nucleus cell-division system. In addition, a protein
that separates the two DNA strands also forms part of this mecha-

As can be seen from these examples, bacteria are not the sim-
ple, primitive living things that evolutionists would have us be-
lieve. Like all "higher" living organisms, bacteria possess complex
structures and mechanisms, and the processes that take place inside
these single-celled creatures work in considerable harmony.
Bacteria possess the ideal structures for the tasks they perform, and
the evolutionists' error stems from their comparing a bacterial cell
