You missed the point. There is no life form smaller than the bacterium in question but they are extremely extrememly extremely... complex and if you try and simplify them, they are nothing, nadda zip. Just like a mouse trap minus any one component.

So if you break it - it's broken?

I thought the point being made was that a mousetrap has a certain complexity and if missing a part, will not work. Following point then being that there can't be a simpler, earlier mousetrap of less parts because it won't work.

Your level of biological knowledge is simply astounding. By your "logic," brontosauri were the pinnacle of evolution too, huh? What about certain fungi which spread out over miles and miles composing "one organism." They kinda skew your misconceptions a bit.

Your personal inability to grasp biology does not mean, for one second, the rest of the world needs to be remain content in it's ignorance.
