...that still would make your comment a complete non sequitur to the material you were allegedly "responding" to.

[Like Darwinian evolution, cosmic expansion provides the context within which simple structures form and develop over time into complex structures. Without evolution and expansion, modern biology and cosmology make little sense.]

So, I say multi-cellular organisms are more complex in their basic design than the evolved mechanisms of multi-cellular organisms in comparison, yet that is non-sequitur to the statement "...the context within which simple structures form and develop over time into complex structures?" That's not logical.

The "simplest one-celled organism" as we know it today is a *result* of evolution, not the *starting point* of it.

What example, artifactual, experimental or theoretical, do you have of a one-celled organism that is more simple than the simplest known one-celled organism? Without one your refutation is empty.

Because we have had 3.6-3.8 billion years of evolution. Evolutionary processes have touched all organisms, including single celled ones. Basically our Ichneumonoid friend is telling you that just because there is no 3.8 billion year old microbe in existence today and I can't show it to you under my microscope, doesn't mean that there never was one.
