Re: What is the simplest life form?
Why are there still single cell organisms? Why haven't they evolved into more complex organisms?
Organisms don't evolve.
I hate to sound pedantic, but in science it's fairly important to be precise in vocabulary. If you're going to insist on being wrong about the science, could you at least try and use the right words in doing so?

Ridicule is the only weapon which can be used against unintelligible propositions. -- Thomas Jefferson
We see monsters where science shows us windmills. -- Phat
It has always struck me as odd that fundies devote so much time and effort into trying to find a naturalistic explanation for their mythical flood, while looking for magical explanations for things that actually happened. -- Dr. Adequate
...creationists have a great way to detect fraud and it doesn't take 8 or 40 years or even a scientific degree to spot the fraud--'if it disagrees with the bible then it is wrong'.... -- archaeologist

Re: Priori Misspelled.
I'm fairly certain that what you're talking about is a Latin phrase, a priori. Of course, if that is what you mean, your point is simply wrong. What you claim to be an a priori belief of science is in fact largely supported by evidence, and where the evidence indicates otherwise, is discarded.
