Mycoplasma mycoides Just Destroyed Evolution

Here is the newest attack on evolution by the Intelligent Design movement and I would like to know where the error in his reasoning is because I am extreme skeptical that this finding will shatter evolution according to this ID member:

Quote:

Call it Mycoplasma mycoides lite—researchers have established what is approximately a minimal organism by removing about half of the genes from the Mycoplasma mycoides genome. The result is a set of 473 genes which, collectively, appear to be required for any kind of reasonable performance. That is an enormous level of complexity. Furthermore, about one third of that minimal gene set is of unknown function. As J. Craig Venter put it, “We're showing how complex life is, even in the simplest of organisms. These findings are very humbling.”

Yes, humbling, if you are an evolutionist. This is because this result shows how astronomically impossible evolution is in its hypothetical early stages. Simply put, there is no way such an organism is going to randomly evolve.

The blog post was written by Cornelius Hunter who is member of the Discovery Institute: http://ift.tt/1WO0ll7;

The paper the ID member used in question is actually about something different: Design and synthesis of a minimal bacterial genome which can be read here: http://ift.tt/1Rk2Lb4

Thanks you for reading this and I wish you a nice day.
