Trouble is that you have the Theory of Evolution wrong. Nothing in that theory requires increased complexity, just change. For example, every mammal is essentially at the same level of complexity, yet all evolved from the earliest proto-mammal. You are not really any more complex than a mouse. Your morphology is different. Your brain is of larger size, but constructed in exactly the same way. Sometimes, complexity increases, but that is hardly a requirement of the Theory of Evolution. Change is what the TOE is about.

So then, you believe there is a creation/evolution hybrid thing going on? Is my brain more complex than that of a Sparrow? So which part was created, and which part “morphed”.

So, you see, you get a basic fact wrong and that affects your argument in a negative way.

No, you seem to be more interested in what you think I meant than what I actually typed.

I recommend that you go to your local public library and ask for an introductory book on Evolutionary Theory. That way, you can learn something about it.

I recommend you brush up on your reading comprehension skills. Education does not equal knowledge, which does not equal wisdom.

"So then, you believe there is a creation/evolution hybrid thing going on? Is my brain more complex than that of a Sparrow? So which part was created, and which part “morphed”."

Not really. My personal opinion is that the whole universe is a natural phenomenon, brought about by the laws of physics. Life is chemistry.

A sparrow is not a mammal. Your brain is actually somewhat more complex than a bird's brain. It is not, however, different in its components than that of a mouse. The human brain is larger and has more neural connections than that of a mouse, but the structures are equivalent. Different portions of the human brain are larger (comparitively) than the mouse's brain, but the various sections of the brain are made up of virtually identical components.

The bird's brain is more closely related to that of the reptiles. There are common structures, however, even in the bird or reptile brain and the human brain. The brain stem, for example, which handles some basic things, like the beating of the heart, etc., along with the fight/flight instinct, are quite similar in birds and humans.

"I recommend you brush up on your reading comprehension skills. Education does not equal knowledge, which does not equal wisdom."

Knowledge comes almost exclusively from education. Even the most basic of human functions must be taught, such as walking. Education does, indeed, lead to knowledge. Wisdom, on the other hand, is a rare thing. It's seldom found in human beings.
