Some quotes from "Dr" Nick Laneπ...
from https://cordis.europa.eu/article/id/32724-energy-vital-to-evolution-of-complex-life (for a laugh...)
"Scientists have long believed that the evolution of nucleus was the key to complex life. However, Dr Nick Lane from University College London (UCL) in the UK and Dr William Martin from the University of DΓΌsseldorf in Germany, believe instead that mitochondria played a crucial role in the development of complex innovations like the nucleus because of their function as power stations in the cell.
"'The underlying principles are universal,' said Dr Lane from UCL's Department of Genetics, Evolution and Environment. 'Energy is vital, even in the realm of evolutionary inventions. Even aliens will need mitochondria.'"
Ah, even aliens. Nice! π
"According to Dr Lane, their discovery 'overturns the traditional view that the jump to complex eukaryotic cells simply required the right kinds of mutations', nothing that the evolution from simple prokaryotes, such as bacteria, 'actually required a kind of industrial revolution in terms of energy production'.
"Dr Lane explained that at the level of our cells, humans have far more in common with mushrooms, magnolias and marigolds than with bacteria because we share complex cells with specialised compartments including an information centre, the nucleus, and mitochondria. These eukaryotes all share a common ancestor that emerged just once in 4 billion years of evolution.""
There you have it, folks. "Dr" Nick Lane thinks he's related to mushrooms!

Okay, and now you can go read one of his books because he's really really smart and obviously knows more than anyone else here about the origin of life.π€π...Okay, maybe not. But if you want to laugh, you can read what he wrote and all the other comedians who like to write sci-fi under the guise of "evolutionary theory". There is a whole list that Cofty provided, so the laughs can keep you going for hours and hours.π
(Funny how people will believe in aliens but won't believe in God... As if the other life forms out there couldn't be higher? As if the other life forms couldn't initiate the writing of a book like the Bible or have morality or give prophecy? He believes he has more in common with mushrooms than with Jehovah? Poor Nick Lane. Somebody ought to tell him he's looking in the wrong place for answers. Jehovah is the Source of all Dynamic Energy.)
