correct me if I am wrong, but evolution states that somewhere along the line life formed and evolved into more complex organisms....I do have that part correct, that is the theory, right?  then form as many experiments that you'd like and see if an organism becomes more complex over time.

Evolution is direcitonless: it can lead to more complex organisms, or to simpler ones, depending on what's better suiting the environment. There isn't even much of an agreement on what's more complex: for one, a chimp is no less complex than a human.  In fact, considering that we've been separate lineages for a few million years, we are remarkably similar with chimps: if we were bacteria, scientists would, probably, need genetic tests to even tell us apart.

In any case, if a bacteria were to develop so much as a cell nucleus, it would be orders of magnitutde more shocking and harder to accommodate within our current theories of evolution than the joint second coming and public gay marriage of Jesus Christ and the Flying Spaghetti Monster would be for you Smiley))

So you are a typical evolutionist like most people (myself included) who accept evolution via natural selection to have been the building block of of our zoology...

no, too many endless opportunities for God to intervene...cant claim it was through natural process.  to claim such a thing is extremely presumptuous.

well, yeah, if the lab monkeys jack with DNA, who knows what they could create.  I was referring to a natural process.

I've given you a perfect example: you are not your own mother
Yeah well, he certainly sounds more like his own mother than any girlfriend has a right to sound.

not sure I get what you're saying, but it doesn't sound flattering

A wild banana.



A banana cultivated by humans, evolved using artificial selection of many, many generations. Also, the current sweet yellow banana we enjoy today is a result of a well documented mutation.




Also, compare wolves, which are largely the same aside from a few minor differences, to the sheer variety of domesticated dogs which have been bred from those wolves. There is a staggering amount of differences in size, shape, color, fur length, fur texture, snout shape, etc.

Also, read up on ring species.


Also...consider Naso:



but he is still a human

who is the bigger fool:  one that believes material that is probably politically motivated, or one that understands there is good chance they're full of crap:
