You should have left the link broken. Right in the summary it states: This review describes current different examples of bacteria able not only to attack and degrade other bacteria, but also to establish stable symbiotic relationships with different eukaryotic organisms.

This is why I find it so hard to take evolutionists seriously. Every time you trot out your so-called evidence, it turns out to be dealing with something else. The endosymbiotic hypothesis deals with the spontaneous rise of the eukaryotic cell through the endocytosis of one prokaryotic cell by another resulting in symbiotic activity. Your linked "proof" does not.

Sorry, no cigar.

And no reply from you either to post 127 or post 294 in this thread, wherein your misleading use of the Crick quote is discussed.

My assumption is you have innocently replicated the truncated version of Crick's words from one of a number of 'Creationist' websites without being aware of those sites dishonest use of the quote, but having now been directed to the full context will be happy to cease perpetuatating this misleading usage in future.

Let's be truthful; you don't like evolutionists because we challenge your dogmatic religious beliefs. The endosymbiotic hypothesis says that prokaryotes lived symbiotically within the ancestor of single-celled eukaryotes. We know of numerous examples of prokaryotes living today within the bodies of single-celled eukaryotes. The review, if you'd read it, lists one example where an amoeba, in the laboratory, was infected by bacteria, formed an endosymbiotic association with them, and the association evolved to become obligate on the part of the amoeba. Likewise, some Paramecia have endosymbiotic green algae, and Mixotrichia paradoxa has even lost its mitochondria and replaced them with endosymbiotic bacteria. And you claim this isn't strong evidence that the endosymbiotic evolution of eukaryotes is perfectly plausible?

Endoparasitism, by the way, is often a prelude to endosymbiosis
