> DAVID: Thank you for making my point. There is a drive to complexity which appears to exist in the evolutionary mechanism for no good reason! Where does it come from, naturally? > Answer, it is not natural. > > dhw: Why is it unnatural for living organisms to wish to stay alive, or to find new ways of exploiting the conditions under which they live? We humans take this for granted, but some humans believe that only large organisms think this way. - I remind you bacteria are still here, with the new ones found that are even more simple than the ones we knew about. They did not complexify. For life to continue, multicellularity did not have to appear. That is a step natural pressures do not explain. It is an event as mysterious and unexplained as the origin of life.
