Single celled organisms?

Question

Why is there a fundie obsession with "single celled organisms"...

Also, it seems like there is a lot of confusion about single celled organisms... for example, it seems fundies don't know that:

1) There are many levels of single celled organism, they may or may not have: nuclei, mitochondria, or membrane-bound organs

2) Some single celled organisms will transform into multi-celled organisms under certain conditions, or as part of their life cycle

3) Evolution did not start with single-celled organisms (shocker, I know... please, let that sink in for a moment)

Really - what is the obsession with them?

Answer 2

They also undergo replication.

Answer 3

You seem to be the only one obsessed here.

Answer 4

Also, they seem to think that the earliest cells must have been as complex as the cells that exist today, and they use this assumption to bolster their ridiculous complexity/probability argument.

They neglect to realize that "single-celled organisms" have been subject to three billion years or so of evolution, just like everything else.
