Of course they [prokaryotes] were. [designed by the Christian god.]

I will disregard your millionth allusion to abiogenesis, which, of course, has nothing to do with evolution.

Ok, now that that's settled, I should be more specific. You said yes, bacteria was specially created. Bacteria are only a part of Kingdom Monera or Kingdom Archaea, depending on your taxonomy preference. What about Archaebacteria? What about Mycoplasmas? What about Crenarchaeota? Some of these things may not even be considered "life" by creationists, I'd suppose.

And, dear creation "scientist," where do viruses figure in? These are important questions, since you still have to come up with a competing theory to evolution, before you displace it. There has been much study into these things by actual scientists, while the creationists have conveniently disregarded this entire Kingdom. Why is that? Too difficult? ICR can't spring for the necessary equipment?

Methinks it's because a freaking .5 micron filament crenarchaeota that lives in boiling sulphurous water doesn't exactly fit the description of Noah's floating zoo, nor does it fit in with "ID" or "creation."

Very convenient, Gore.

You are into asking questions. How about answering one? Where do prions fit in your scheme of things?
