It creates order. It isn't a swap-and-change process, it's a building process, a growing process, a process that requires that complexity arises from simplicity.

I can see from this statement that you have a basic missunderstanding of evolution.

Quote: You start with a simple organism and through evolution you get a complicated organism with organized features. In fact - you get many complicated, organized organisms.

You can do, Evolution is the only mechanism in nature that can achieve that BUT evolution does not have to go from less complex to more complex. Birds lose the power of flight fish in darkness lose eyes. If it doesn't impart a survival advantage then those complex features can and do wither and disappear.

The process of natural selection cares not for the improvement into more complex forms, just for what imparts an advantage at the time.
Sometimes this means better eyes, sometimes it means simpler is better.

Quote:Your definition of evolution is meaningless, it's futile, if it's not directional - if it doesn't go anywhere - if it doesn't result in slowly but surely building large complicated creatures with many features - rather than simple organisms with no features - then it isn't evolution, is it?

I'm afraid that you are completely wrong, evolution cares not for the advancement of the species it only operates on works at the time and that means adapting to current conditions whatever they may be. Nothing more, it is a simple system that has complex results but HAS NO DIRECTION.

You seem to think that there is some sort of intelligence behind evolution that wants life to "get better" sorry to disalusion you but that is not what happens.



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
