Bacteria can do things we can't. Is that "upward evolution" too?

It's the opposite of downward evolution, silly.

Does that mean gravity is evolution?

But the current types of bacteria would still be more advanced than the original bacteria. So they are advanced bacteria. That also would be upward evolution.

How so? Please demonstrate how the primitive archaea that are still around are more advanced than their ancestors.
Is it "upward evolution" when traits are lost? Like say, sight in bats?

I don't know. Let's ask SBGTF to ask Jesus for us.

If the first one was more advanced than current bacteria, the abiogenesis is really preposterous.

I am almost positive that almost all scientist would agree that the primitive bacteria was not as advanced as the current bacteria.

From a bacteria that cannot do things like man can.

For example, invent calculus, play baseball, paint the night sky, write a book, etc.

It has already been explained to you that there is no "upward evolution" in the sense that evolution is teleological. There is no goal, no purpose. Your insistence on using that phrase is of a piece with your equally dim-witted use of "atheistic origin science."

Again and again, you run your ignorance of science up a flagpole for all to see. Why don't you listen to what people tell you? There are actual scientists on this site who have generously given of their time to try to help you understand how badly you've been hoodwinked by creationists, but you just carry on as if nothing happened. You are not only an idiot; you are an arrogant ingrate.

What are your qualifications that enable you to dismiss multiple disciplines including: genetics, microbiology, geology, paleontology, astronomy, cosmology, and others? How craven, corrupt, brain washed, and just plain butt-stupid do you intend to demonstrate yourself to be? Don't you have any pride at all?

Fucking cult members.

If the primitive archaea are still around, does that disprove evolution?
