Convoluted human evolution: a branch is missing (Introduction)

DAVID: The pattern of evolution is bushiness. But it always showed further complexity as it progressed. It definitely shows a directionality which can be equated to purpose: produce the most complex. And it has. The human brain.

dhw: I am fully aware that the pattern of evolution is bushiness, and that the advance from bacteria to dinosaurs, dodos, the duck-billed platypus and us Davids entails complexity. Why you should think that all of these relate to your God’s single purpose of producing the human brain, as opposed to the purpose of producing bushiness, has been the subject of endless posts between us. If you stop telling us that higgledy-piggledy bushiness is evidence of a single purpose, l will refrain from listing the rest of the contradictions.

You are confusing method with purpose. The bushiness is fused with advancing complexity, thus the human brain result, under God's guidance.
