> DAVID: However it happened once the necessary level of oxygen appeared, the Cambrian animals popped up, which fits right into my theory that there is a deliberately implanted drive to complexity in the whole process of evolution.

> dhw: It fits right into my hypothesis that there is a drive to improvement as well as survival in the whole process of evolution. That drive may have been deliberately implanted, and your God may have given organisms the wherewithal to implement it by themselves, as opposed to his personally preprogramming or dabbling every single new development, extant and extinct, in order to balance nature in order to provide food in order to keep life going in order to prepare the way for humans. (I hope I've got that right.) - Improvement is not required if the organisms at a less complex level are surviving just fine. Bacteria happily existing unchanged for 3.5 billion years are proof of this. Developement of complexity is not required if survival is working! 3.5 billion years of changing and challenging environments on Earth notwithstanding. You insistence about survival is a holdover from your previously pure-Darwin days of thinking. Survival of the fittest is still a tautology.
