Does complexity require intelligent design?

Cambrian life was still unlike almost everything alive today. Using number of cell types as a measure of complexity, we see that complexity has been increasing more or less constantly since the beginning of the Cambrian (Valentine et al. 1994).

What are the different cell types being spoke of above? [This is numbered 6 right before hte references are listed.]How effective are fosils at revealing cell types?This message has been edited by Trae, 04-09-2005 02:16 AM

Random mutation is creative? Now that's silly. Ask a musical composer if it wouldn't be better to just put random notes on the score, or ask an architect if it wouldn't be better to just add walls or windows in a random way. What design process uses random factors as a primary creative function? {I don't consider rap "music" to be a valid example}

Neural Networks.As to your comments about music, do a google search on neural networks music art. Then if you like do another on "neural networks architecture.Neural Networks are only one example. Medicine Ogg Ogg, you over there eat this. Let’s see what happens. I still often cook this way. When I play with computer art I often try random effects or tools.You used ‘better’ when I think you mean ‘efficient’. Randomness may not be the most efficient approach if you have a time limit, but what if you have eons?I am really disappointed that you say Crash is saying that ‘mutation’ = ‘creative’ when he clearly wrote Natural selection acting on random mutation I am sure this has been brought up before.
