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.

You have no idea what complexity is yet you are certain evolution creates it. I am simply asking you to explain what you are talking about. But you refuse. I can also point out you have no working definition for meaningful as in meaningful change.

Evolution, the variation of allele frequency over time. Allele variations are why all the children of the same sex from the same parents are not identical. Change need never occur which is one reason there are extinctions. Without an allele variation making born without eyes a common birth defect there is no likelihood eye loss would spread through a bat population.
