As usual, you’ve missed the point. I’m not a biologist, and I’m not interested in going down a rabbit hole on your pet topic. But I graciously provided a link in the general direction anyway. Conceptually, prokaryotes are more analogous to the nuclei of eukaryote cells rather than entirely different in the manner you claim, though it is more complex than that. There’s no reason why I or anyone on this forum should be expected to know the answers to the questions you raise about complex biology, and it remains an argument from ignorance. At the end of it, you’re still no closer to any evidence for even a starting point for belief in a magical deity (also a false dichotomy).
Vastly complicating this problem for atheists
If you imagine any of this is a ‘problem for atheists’, you are very confused about what ‘atheist’ means. If you have questions about biology, ask a biologist.

Remember, you need to be just as precise as you would expect for answers to your question.

Jeff, I'm responible. It was meant as an up vote. I've repaired the error

Fair enough. Though it's not the first time, I (and others) have inexplicably had entirely reasonable comments downvoted, and it's usually not just an innocent mistake.
You are formally excluded from the 'moron' category. 😂

Why are you asking that here? Ask on a biology forum.
Once again, this is an appeal to ignorance. Just another ‘God of the gaps’ fallacy.

What’s with morons inexplicably putting downvotes on completely uncontroversial replies on this forum? 🤣

Beth Sarim:
I have my original 1988 Revelation Climax book in pristine condition. The one that we went through,,,I forget how many times.. The original copy without the "insert",,,, the original copy before the Borg got "busted" as a UN NGO affiliate. You should have seen the looks I got one time during the the CO visit around 2007 or so. We were doing the Revelation Climax book,,,& I did NOT have the ""updated insert"". I only had the "original" You'll have to pry my original 1988 Revelation Climax book from my cold dead hands.

I have suspected for some time that they are working on an updated book about Revelation.

Solar Eclipse - How Common is It?

of the 213 moons in our solar system, only ours provides a total solar eclipse.. coincidence?.

See Breeze:
You are the one who said on page one of this topic that the rules of logic are a "human construct".
This is one of those concepts that creationists often (deliberately) confuse. Like the ‘laws’ of physics, and like mathematics, the ‘laws’ of logic are observations (which is the aspect that ‘requires a brain’) of how things are. The observed ‘laws’ themselves are not designed proscriptions nor human inventions.

Sea Breeze:
Your assumption about the reliability of logic is what I am questioning. If atheists assume accidental explosions, unguided chance, and chaotic chemical reactions explain of the origins of logic, why do they view logic as trustworty?
It is a ligitimate question which flows directly from atheist assumptions... not mine. No strawman there.
So far you've guessed because they work. Which I pointed out as the logical fallacy of irrelevant thesis. You've also suggested logic is produced by our minds. But, that doesn't make any sense because we all have different brain chemistry, IQ's, experiences etc.
Aside from the false equivalence conflating atheism with specific cosmological models, this navel gazing sophistry is meant to sound deep but it’s just the usual ‘god of the gaps’ argument from ignorance.
