If you assume the atom as the starting point and look at the present, then biology must be increasing in order. But if you look at things like rate of extinction compared to rate of species generation...or increasing cancer rates (that is, the harmful mutation of DNA)...and trace that line all the way back to origin, it points to a MORE complex biological history rather than a less complex biological history.
Forgive me i dont understand your logic here. What points to a more complex biological history?
I don't have a hard and fast point, nothing scientific, just an observation. Sometimes as you look around it seems that life in general is degrading rather than evolving. It seems like more stuff is dying out than is developing. It seems like the human genome is getting more disease prone and more unstable rather than evolving to a higher state. There are of course lots of different possible reasons and a myriad of competing factors in that, so it's not an argument. Just food for thought.
