Basically, yes.
There is nothing about us that separates us from them -- we are both subject to exactly the same principles of physics and both have exactly the same capacity for free will.
We are both part of the same, singular chemical reaction that began over three billion years ago.

Bacteria are single cell organisms and we are multicell organisms. But... you could think of us as bacteria that have evolved some multicellurare complexity. Certainly our lives would not be possible without bacteria.

If you class the earth as a living and breathing organism then yes we are bacteria as we are killing mother earth with pollution, rubbish we dump in land fills, and in the sea. We are killing its lungs by chopping down trees I wouldn't like to see my self as a piece of mould but we certainly are acting like bacteria and attacking the earth.

I guess you could say complex. Bacteria are our ancestors. Though we've become terribly inefficient at doing bacterial things.
We're the underachieving child our bacterial progenitors are ashamed to talk about.

More like a large colony of complex bacteria and fungi and virii. We do fit the definition of infectious.

one ancient egyptian story tells us that Ra pooed out the earth, and the trees are fungal growth, and peeeed out rain which gave us the seas. Its not a story that I choose to believe though it bears some thinking about!!!

Certainly not of bacteria: bacteria are "prokaryots" (meaning they do not have a real nucleus, and we are made of cells called "Eukaryots", meaning these cells have a real nucleus.

actually, atoms made up of a nucleus, electrons and neutrons which make up cells which make up us with a few bacteria and virus's thrown in.

I'd say more like a virus, but your analogy works too.

Don't know. Haven't a clue.
