THEORY is ok to put in a textbook. And that theory can later be proven wrong. But what is unexceptable is when THEORY is put in textbooks AS A FACT. It should be clear that it is only a theory. ANd NEVER should information be put into it when it has been proven wrong already. ESPECIALLY when it's stated as fact.
You are making a bad comparison, comparing biological organisms to man-made machines. This is not what the textbook meant (I would assume), but the fact that multi-celled organisms are much more complex than single-celled organisms. It is ridiculous to compare biological life forms to machine "life", especially in terms of complexity.
Quote:I'm sure if I looked, there would be TONS of proof, yes. I have heard that on scientific vids, and read it places as well. If you would like, I can get you some references. But since it has already been disproven, I won't take the time now, since as far as I can see, we were right about that. 
Yes, I'd like the references please. You had better take the time now, because if you think that debates are about you making an assertion and then refusing to back it up because you claim "as far as I can see, we were right about that" then you don't know a thing about debates. You cannot just make an assertion without backing it up. We have backed up all our points with the relevant research, so please honour the debate and do the same.
