ohnhai,
This thread is quite old, so don't expect a response from John Paul.

So yes bacteria will always be bacteria up until the time that form becomes invalid for survival then it will die out.
Just a quick comment. Bacteria, on their own, never developed into multicellular life. Eukaryotes are more likely the result of commensalism between different types of single celled organisms which make their emmergence difficult to describe in evolutioanry terms. They are almost like a second round of abiogenesis, the sudden production of new kingdom of life.
