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.~

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

"Endoparasitism precedes endosymbiosis"...hmm, not as catchy as "Ontogeny recapitulates philogeny".

Cheers!

Untrue. The endosymbiotic hypothesis as it applies to evolution is an attempt to explain the origin of eukaryotic cells through prokaryote-prokaryote endocytosis, symbiosis, and organelle formation. If you know anything about biology, you know that. You also know that your link does absolutely nothing as far as proving such an origin.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I am an evolutionist, but I don't like fellow evolutionists.

Why? Because they are bullies.

They defend government schools that FORCE evolution on resistant children and demand that other tax payers pay for this forced indoctrination. They are those who are least likely to advocate vouchers or tax credits and freedom of choice in K-12 education.
