"I’ve read
his (Geoffrey Simon's) books, and as usual, he resorts to the litany of complexity to make his
case. He doesn’t stop to consider how all that complexity arose, just
its existence is all he uses to claim justification for his claim of
Intelligent Design creationism. That doesn’t fly, Dr Simmons. We have
mechanisms that generate such complexity and refine noise into functionality
that do not require intelligent intervention. Sure, single-celled zygotes
develop into organisms with many trillions of cells. We can study that and find
lovely developmental mechanisms behind it; we can watch mitoses occur; we can
find the molecular interactions that lead to differentiation. Telling me that
there are lots of cells there does not support your apparent contention that
they all poofed into existence with the assistance of a meddling cosmic
superbeing, either phylogenetically or ontogenetically."
