You know if you put a ball at the top of a hill, a "force" we call "gravity" (it's not actually a force but it behaves like one) causes the ball to roll down the hill.
I think of evolution in much the same way. Evolution is a "force" which creates: diversity, complexity, structure, meaningful change. These characteristics aren't an accident and are not based on probability, they are as integral to evolution as a ball rolling down a hill is to gravity.
And FYI Matt, I'm done with playing your games. You want an intelligent discussion, then that's what you bring, you don't come and make demands on me while at the same time proving that you cannot offer the same quality of discussion that you demand from others. If you had a shred of integrity you'd present your own definition of complexity and then ask if I agree with it. Not demand that I give it to you.

"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
