Any advanced textbook on evolution will cover the development of flagellum and cells. You are quoting propaganda circulated by people who nothing about biology or evolution. These statements are as ignorant as claims that cold fusion violates the laws of thermodynamics, or that no reaction can produce more energy than it consumes, and therefore cold fusion is impossible. (I saw that recently!) I advise you not to comment on areas of science you know nothing about. One of the most important lessons of cold fusion is that in nearly every case, the experts who do the work and have studied the subject carefully are right, and ignorant people from outside the field are wrong. Many people imagine the situation is the other way around, and Fleischmann, Jalbert or Iyengar were outsiders challenging the authorities. People think the MIT plasma fusion scientists were the insiders who had knowledge of fusion. The MIT people themselves thought so. That was a reasonable assumption in early 1989, but it turns out their expertise is limited to plasma fusion. It does not apply to cold fusion. If you wish to say something in rebuttal I promise not to respond. I will let the matter drop. - Jed
