There are some amazing interactions between parasite and host. Ih this case the parasite wins: - http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/08/090811161345.htm - Think about this study: 1) One of the biggest jumps in evolution was the development of the nerve cell, the abillity of living animal material to produce ions that would travel along branches of the cell and impart information that created an activity. 2) Fungi are among early forms of plants. No nerve cells as such. 2) How did a simple fungus learn to control an ant brain, which is of itself a tiny living computer made up of nerve cells? 3) A spore somehow gets into a crevice in the ant, and like a plant seed starts to grow. Back in the first step toward evolution of this amazing series of events what happened next? And why would it happen? Why did a brainless spore decide to branch to the ant brain the first time, and then figure out a chemical protein molecule or series of molecules to direct the brain to a very complex action. If anything looks like Behe's 'irreducable complexity' this does. Just-so story, anyone?
