You asked for an explanation. You got one that seems reasonable to professional biologists even if you don't like it. (though I didn't detect any meaningful objections in your post). So why be abusive?

No anticipation is required by nature; just a succession of slight changes over many generations, perhaps millions, with an increasing reproductive reward for both species in the nascent symbiosis for co-operation the tighter it gets. But nature didn't have to know where things were going. That is how symbiosis evolves. No magic needed. Just differential reproductive success rewarding those individuals best adapted to current circumstances.

The vehemence with which you reject the possibility betrays your fear that it could be true and the fear of what that would mean to your faith, which you have nailed to the falsity of ToE.

My vehemence in rejecting this is because of the almost stupefying acceptance you and other evolutionist have that blind chance could evolve such interlocking systems which are far more complex than any computer chip yet designed and manufactured by man. I know since I have designed a few myself.

You have to believe there is magical pixie dust within nature itself, or even worse, that the addition of complex interactions of biological materials, somehow gives them the ability to produce even more complexity.

And this all the way up to the human brain, the most complex thing we know about in the natural universe. Where does it ever end?

Someday this theory will produce an all knowing God that will punish evolutionists for never believing in Him in the first place. And you would have no problem with THAT god, cause your EVERYTHING that has ever happened MUST have happened via evolution theory is set like concrete in your minds.

Laughable that some of you protest my protestations that this theory is NOT falsifiable!

Thus in evolution the snake forever eats its tail. What bugs me is otherwise brilliant men swallow this whole without any critical assessment...like you, just willingly accepting a fairy tale story, because it was told by a biologist.

Why don't you find out EXACTLY the complexities of any symbiotic relationship and see if you can comfortably regurgitate this story again. And this from a theory that cannot even preserve the necessary millions of gradual transitory species in the rocks, but can produce Orchids and bees, mimicry and symbiosis, parasites and mitosis.
