The point of this thread is that you are quite wrong. Evolution has got a lot in common with the tinkering that produces unnecessary complexity while creationism postulates a design-from-scratch scenario that should keep complexity down. The more complex life is the more likely it evolved, rather than being designed.

Well there is one big problem in your argument, It assumes that evolution doesn't happen. However evolution does happen and - as we have been pointing out it fits the observed data much better than "design-from-scratch". And evolutionary principles have been used to produce designs, so design is certainly possible without intelligent intervention.
