The answer is that both have happened.  Some bacteria DID change into something more complex.  Some bacteria DID NOT.  Simply because not all bacteria have evolved into more complex organisms does not disprove the theory of evolution.  If anything, it is evidence that natural selection works both ways.  If you are adapted to your environment already, you don't need to adapt as much.  If you are not adapted to your environment, you "need" to change more.

 

 Attention, attention everyone! Important announcement coming up. You may be surprised, but this is an everlasting truth:



akuma hereby proclaims that bacteria don't need to adapt as much.

Bacteria are the most successful branch of organisms on the PLANET that can withstand ALL KINDS OF environmental stress.  So obviously they are doing pretty well.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S.
