Nothing, as you mentioned..there are plenty of "simple" things around - relative to us for example. Many more of them by number and mass than there are of us. Complexity is just -one avenue-. Simplicity still gets it's due - even amongst the "complex" (where's your tail?).
Yep, there are still simple things around. And complexity is just one avenue , that's a good answer and I am sure that is part of it. But I don't see anything going the other way, become less complex, and I want to know why. Me losing my tail doesn't count, or a proto-dog taking back to the water and eventually ending up as a seal- those are adaptations - they are not less complex. The drive is still upwards to more complexity.
Thanks for all the feedback
@downbeatplumb, good video thanks. One single cell swallowed another. Interesting .
Nope, no drive. There is no evidence of a 'drive'. Advantageous changes simply accumulate.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
