Dibble, taking quotes out of context is one of color1's specialties.  He has an excellent future ahead for him in writing political attack ads.

I'm sure that you took the 5 seconds it took to google "cyanobacteria abd 3.5 billion"
   

That appears to be your problem.  Judging by the quality of your posts on this forum so far, you google phrases, find some quotes to cherry-pick and post elsewhere without taking the time to read and comprehend the whole article you just googled to make certain that it says what you want it to say.

God will speak whenever he wants to; so will color1.  But just as some people choose to ignore God, they can also choose to ignore color1.  I already choose to ignore one of them and it ain't the one whose name is capitalized.

Logically, there is no reason to have believed that it should be a cone in the first place.  With more ecological niches wide open, it's more likely that an adaptation will prove useful and that as those niches become filled in, it is less likely that a random adaption will fill a purpose that is not already being undertaken by an existing creature that has had time to optimize to the niche.

Still if evolution created life, one would expect "ultra simple" proteins and  "ultra simple" organic molecular structures.

Says who?

People who obviously haven't been paying attention to chaos theory.  We have multiple examples in which simple processes self-generate complex systems.  So the whole argument that life is too complex to have arisen without a creator micromanaging the details is utter hooey.

Actually, there are several theories on how the cilium evolved.  None universally accepted as of yet which isn't surprising since we're having to infer how it may have happened rather than actually watch it happen.

I guess since the contention that the eye was too irreducibly complex to have evolved has been fairly thoroughly debunked, the creationists have had to move on to other structures less familiar and eye-catching in their efforts to disprove evolution.

    The most complex automobile today is much simpler than a cillium.

If you actually believe that, I sincerely hope you aren't an auto mechanic.  If you are, please tell me where you work so that I never take my car there.

cillium are part of a single cell, an eye has hundreds-of-millions of cells, and many specialized cell types

I don't get your point at all.  If anything, it should be simpler and less complex to have a single cell do something than to have a multicelluar organ with specialized cell types do it.  You seem to arguing against cilia being irreducibly complex.  Speaking of reducible complexity, you do know that cilium is spelled with one el and not two don't you?
