Then everything is an entirely different thing. The simple act of a single cell engulfing mitochondria is not the birth of a species.

Even on content I would bury this if I had the button for it, it makes pretty heavy claims without any evidence and necessarily brushing aside fundamental problems with the overall conclusion.
