Natural selection forced complexity to increase?

Just a moment...'We show that, because natural selection forces genomes to behave as a natural "Maxwell Demon," within a fixed environment, genomic complexity is forced to increase.'I was referred to this article by some anticreationist website trying to refute W. Dembski's information challenge. However, I cannot grasp what this means. What the hell is a Maxwell Demon and why does it increases complexity?

bumpJust a moment...Anybody feeling vindicated or threatened by Adami et al.'s paper yet? They show that selection can minimize random information to produce complexity!

Seriously, this thread is underdiscussed.These approaches should be considered theoretical, because they use digital organisms. Are any of you aware of other papers which show the increase in complexity in vitro not in silico?Peter Borger, you replying to this?Admins, can I promote this thread as this month's Topic of The Week?
