Re: A different approach?

(feel free to add any ... both evolutionist and creationist)
I would just make it a point to clarify that in the phrase you offered,
increased complexity,
complexity is not the opposite of simplicity but ,rather, the
opposite of independent. We can reword it then as increased interdependence and gain the understanding that increased complexity naturally follows when systems of atoms {simplistic WRT organic life} whose bonds {attributable to the electromagnetic force alone} become molecules which in turn follow these same bonding rules to become organic {carbon bearing} and up the chain of interdependence to become amino acids,proteins etc...
Just my 2 cents worth to see if the idea is actually understood by others here.

"We patronize animals for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate of having taken form so far below ourselves. And therein we err, and greatly err. For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours, they move finished and complete, gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren, they are not underlings; they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life, fellow prisoners of the splendor and travail of the earth." - Henry Beston
