How do you measure complexity or information content?

Is a frog more complex that a bacterium?

Is a frog more complex that a bacterium?

Again, how do you wish to define complexity? At some point in the life cycle, both the frog and the bacterium are single celled. Most bacteria have smaller genomes, but genome length does not correlate perfectly with presumed complexity or position on the phylogenetic tree.

So once again, why do anti-evolutionists assume that evolution involves an increase in information or complexity?

Is a frog more complex that a bacterium?

Does a database become more complex when you change the data? Does it become significantly more complex if you duplicate all the records? Does it become significantly more complex if, after the record duplication, some records are changed?

How do you measure complexity in living things?
