Mark,

Have to butt in here. Every evolutionary model? Leads only (I
added) to organisms of greater complexity? Over whose time, the
assessor or the assessed?

If mankind finds a way to exist without the limitations of our
own physical bodies are we (in your thinking) evolving to a
greater complexity or would we have developed an alternate
(perhaps more simplified) direction?
