  1. To make it easy for atheists to explain away God with evolution.


  2. Because they only have one set of DNA that needs to mutate for the change to "stick", whereas poly-celled lifeforms require a mutation to occur in a specific cell (the sperm/egg or the cells which produce them), which are a vastly smaller proportion of the full creature, and even if a particular sperm or egg did mutate, chances are it won't be used.

    It's not "easy" for them to mutate, it's just that pretty much _any_ mutation to their dna changes the entire creatures dna as it only has one set (and not billions which would all need changed).

    Atheists don't explain god away with evolution, the mutually exclusive properties of your god do that themselves completely unaided by godless thought.

  3. Bacteria probably have less accurate DNA replication systems, resulting in mutations of genes. They also have the ability to take up DNA from other cells when they lyse (burst open) and express it themselves. DNA can also be transferred between cells via viral infection. Plasmids can also be transferred using a channel called an F Pillus in some species, such as E. coli.
