Ummmm define “successful”.
I don’t see swimming around in snot or cohorting around someone’s butt as particularly “successful”.

Soooo... you are now saying that bacteria aren’t successful?! And I tried having a discussion with you? I challenge you to find a more successful group on the planet.
(Don’t bother trying.)
Heck, even ID’ers are in love with bacteria!
