As any singular organism has its own survival as its highest priority, it is very much unlike darwinistic evolution for a cell to team up with other cells, thereby depending on others to survive, which decreases it's chances on ( manipulating ) his survival.
The reason why organism have evolved into multi-cellular organisms is still scientifically unexplained AFAIK.

That is the kind of nonsense creationists make up to convince stupid people. There is nothing in Darwin's theory of evolution which states that organisms can't cooperate for mutual benifit.
Organisms manipulate their environment to survive and reproduce. This includes manipulating other organisms. If a group of organisms can get some kind of advantage from cooperating they will do it, whether it is a herd of antelope or a bacteria colony.
