If a virus can not multiply without a host, it can not have been the first life, period.

The concept is that various types of life 'merged' to form the eukaryotic cell. That is to say at one point there was an organism that held properties like a current cell nucleus, this in turn merged with a prokaryotic type cell. It could be possible that a true virus merged and did the same thing, becoming a symbiot rather than a parasite.

This one is hard to prove, but the mitochondria is a bit easier being it has its own DNA, among other factors.

What any of this has to do with god is beyond me. When biologists wax poetic they talk about looking at gods handiwork or jokingly gods testicles, but it is never meant to prove or disprove creation.

Someone saying this goes against intelligent design isn't thinking very deep. You could easily 'design' life by taking different bits and putting them together. Hell its been something biologists have been trying to do for quite a while. Does it give a evolutionary path? Sure, but it is by no means a definitive proof even if it were 100% correct.
