However, if the word complex is subjective than let me get specific. Im going change from "intelligent" to "efficient" design, in an attempt to make an argument without the assumption that a God created what we see.
So, you are changing from one poorly defined word to another.
Please define how you are measuring efficiency and be specific.
(e.g. Do you mean energy efficiency? Are you measuring the energy input/output ratio of organisms? Or something else?)

It is unclear who you are responding to.
FYI: If you click the 'reply' button under the appropriate message (and not the big button at the bottom of the page) then it becomes a lot easier to follow discussions.

But as i said, you can get technical all day on what im saying, but you can promote your beleifs better if you approach my message and not my words. That said i dont mind clarifying, and i hope you wouldjt mind if u used poor words either.
If we do not use the correct words (and agree on their meaning) then we are likely to just talk across each other.
Without precision there is error.
Without accurate words then there is just a vague, easily misunderstood message.

You would rather give up your ability to create art, music, and poetry in exchange for a fur coat??
Is 'being furry' and 'being artistic' mutually exclusive?
How do you explain ZZ-Top then!
hmm...I might have just lost my own argument.
