Biological complexity: more cell pore complexity (Introduction)

dhw: How do you gauge purpose without reading the mind? As regards a purpose behind the drive for complexity, you have again rejected my alternative, which is the drive for survival and improvement.-I think a result gives purpose: humans here against all odds =s purposeful result. Deciding a mind must be behind it, a secondary conclusion. A drive to complexity =s survival and improvement, no Darwin involved which is the basis of your thought.-
> dhw: I may as well ask you how many scientists believe in divine preprogramming or personal intervention for every innovation, lifestyle and natural wonder in evolutionary history.-There are many hundreds of doctors in an organization called "physicians against Darwin", to which I once sold books (about 2002).-> dhw: I accept all your arguments relating to complexity, and your posts - as well as your books - on this and other related subjects have been an ongoing education for me, for which I shall always be grateful. So there are still plenty of bridges, even if they only take me halfway across the theist-atheist gulf!-My job when invited to comment on this website was to extend the bridge. I'll keep engineering.
