> dhw: And so it is not only changes in the environment that trigger the drive for improvement. Organisms may even improve within the same environment. The bacteria are still bacteria, so we can't talk of innovation here, but the key words for me are “improve” and “exploit”. It's the same process as with the jellyfish and all other innovations, lifestyles and natural wonders: the drive for improvement and the exploitation of conditions. And it starts at the level of single cells.

There is obviously a drive for improvement and complexity. It is built-in. I've thought so all along during my research. I view it as another form of God-given information supplied at the origin of life.
