Epulopiscium fishelsoni, called "Epulos" for short, live on a regular schedule and produce 2 to (sources say as many as 12, but most are lower - 6 avg.) offspring. They also have tens of thousands of back-up copies of their DNA, and used to be the largest known bacteria. Sources, sorted easy to more advanced: http://people.ku.edu/~jbrown/babies.htmlhttp://www.cals.cornell.edu/cals/micro/research/labs/angert-lab/intro.cfmhttp://twistedbacteria.blogspot.com/2008/05/big-bacteria-with-lots-of-dna.htmlhttp://www.accessexcellence.org/LC/ST/st12bg.phpTo the extent possible, I think this evidence speaks for itself most eloquently, and I found some other tidbits, in case the Epulos don't spark conversation. Cellular Slime Molds could, one hopes to wish, provide some enlightenment as well.
Dark Matter + Dark Energy = Dark Truth"We find that such evidence demonstrates that the ID argument is dependent upon setting a scientifically unreasonable burden of proof for the theory of evolution." - Judge Jones Kitzmiller case http://www.talkreason.org/articles/Falsify.cfm"To Compel A Man To Furnish Funds For The Propagation Of Ideas He Disbelieves And Abhors Is Sinful And Tyrannical." - Thomas Jefferson "And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are the gift of God? That they are not to be violated but with his wrath?" - Thomas Jefferson
