text: intelligent design and the the endosymbiont theory and mitochondria and chloroplasts? just wondering if anyone who believes in intelligent dessign could give me an explantation why the creator would put such a simple prokaryotic organism in a eukaryotic cell. in other words, why would somebody create an organism to put inside another organism. tried to think of a reason and got stuck. i know this is only a hypothesis but just asking for intrest. cheers x creationists don't know jack about biology. they can think of questions but don't bother to find the answers. i hope you're not looking for a creationist explanation of endosymbiosis to fuel a belief in id, because quite frankly there is none. there is only an evolutionary explanation.
