DAVID’s comment: Read the whole article. I think it is ridiculous reasoning, but he makes some reasonable observations. Highly complex bacteria are stable because of the unexplained source of the complexity they exhibit. Note my bold: origin of life and evolution are one continuous system.

Thank you for editing the article. If you believe in evolution, then of course origin of life and evolution are one continuous system: you could hardly have evolution if one life form didn't develop from its predecessors right back to the first form(s)! But Creationists deny common descent and argue that God created different forms of life separately,in which case the process was not continuous. As for the rest, we might as well say that all matter has mental qualities that look for “stability”: another form of panpsychism.
