My question to evolutionists is as follows;
I have read much about evolution and understand the cellular theory, but I can't seem to find an answer to this question; if single celled organisms evolved into multi cellular organisms, that is cellular chains, when and how did each and every cell give up the, "every cell for himself" way of life and start relying on certain cells to do certain jobs for the good of the whole? An example of this in humans is organs and blood. Only the digestive organs provide nourishment to the rest of the body, and only the blood cells can deliver oxygen to every other cell in the body. Did the simple multi-cellular creatures pass out sign up lists for each cell to do something that benefits and helps the rest of the organism to survive?
I think that if this question goes unanswered, it could really become one of TTOE's weaknesses. ---- And before anyone here gets started, let me also point out that without a digestive system, every cell in the human body would die. Without blood cells to deliver oxygen, every human cell would die. It's ALMOST an irreducibly complex system of organs.
So HOW and WHEN did, according to evolution, cells abandon the "every cell for himself" doctrine and start the "all for one, and one for all" doctrine? (if you get my point)
