"one thing i don't see how could of formed naturally through evelotuion from 1-celled oraganisms, the reproductive system/organs."
This probably started out with the earlier single celled organisms that reproduced by injecting their genes into other single cell organisms. The host organism would die as the virus would consume it from within. I'm sure later on down the time line it got so that the host didn't die and they in fact depended on each other for survival.
"even though thats how we start off in the womb, those single celled cretures just grew into a blob rather then growing into an organ let alone body"
Same thing. Just different destination(in the metaphorical sense of the word).
"psycologically, it is normally the person who is right that will loose the arguement, because they realise they are wasting there time so walk off,"
I don't think so. If you've got some evidence for this allegedly psychologically "normal" behavior I'd like to see it.
" once you get used to this you soon realise they have actually walked off cos they've just realised how much of an ass of themselves they've made"
I think you're just sore becuase you lost.

"besides, why arn't we all diseased slime?"
Because diseased slime was not at one point an evolutionarly vaiable route to go.
I'd also like to point out at this, stage of the game, this from here:

Quote: "Evolution is not progress. Populations simply adapt to their current surroundings. They do not necessarily become better in any absolute sense over time. A trait or strategy that is successful at one time may be unsuccessful at another. "
Although diseased slime may be able to beat us now at somethings it probably wasn't always the case. Take this for example:
Quote: "Paquin and Adams demonstrated this experimentally. They founded a yeast culture and maintained it for many generations. Occasionally, a mutation would arise that allowed its bearer to reproduce better than its contemporaries. These mutant strains would crowd out the formerly dominant strains. Samples of the most successful strains from the culture were taken at a variety of times. In later competition experiments, each strain would outcompete the immediately previously dominant type in a culture. However, some earlier isolates could outcompete strains that arose late in the experiment. Competitive ability of a strain was always better than its previous type, but competitiveness in a general sense was not increasing. Any organism's success depends on the behavior of its contemporaries. For most traits or behaviors there is likely no optimal design or strategy, only contingent ones. Evolution can be like a game of paper/scissors/rock."
