I love this answer. It's so true, and it's the kind of thing I would have said.
You might like Richard Dawkin's book called "The Ancestor's Tale", all about the different lifeforms that we've evolved from, including bacteria. It's fascinating and a fun read.
Uh-uh, lots of our bacteria are symbiotes, specially made to live inside and on human beings and nowhere else.
Sorry to break it to you...but that acconts for a small...very small minority of all the bacteria on earth! The vast majority would be very much still alive.

Yes, but the original statement was absolute. "Bacteria can live without people" isn't true for all species of bacteria, especially those that live in symbiosis with humans.
Plus it it was what is the important thing in life, whicjh is bacteria as all the procees where the inorganic bridges the organic is done by them, The so called higher orgisnm are carried on the shoulders of the work of bacteria

The most important thing in life? Committing my life to God every day. Without Him life would just go by and eventually disappear. Nothing on earth is eternal, but God is. And the most wonderful thing is that He loves you and me no matter what the rest of the world thinks.
