Darwinian evolution uniquely solves the problem of life’s statistical improbability, because it works cumulatively and gradually. It really does broker a legitimate traverse from primordial simplicity to eventual complexity – and it is the only known theory capable of doing so. Human engineers can make complex things by design, but the whole point

But why does the fashion industry go through this iterative, and in many ways, wasteful, process? The reason that your shirt was evolved rather than designed is that no one could predict exactly what kind of shirt you would want out of the almost infinite space of possible shirt designs. The old Soviet Union tried this kind of rational prediction i

Evolution can only happen if risk of extinction is present.

According to the theory of evolution, all biological entities – from elephants and oak trees to cells and DNA molecules – are composed of smaller and simpler parts that ceaselessly combine and separate.

Evolution produces greater depth, less span. That is actually tenet number 8 (we’re skipping some of them). So could

the severe problem for Darwin’s theory of evolution in accounting for biological features that require multiple interacting components was one of the first major scientific arguments advanced against it
