Humans are made up of eukaryotic cells. Yes, greater complexity and new structures and features can arise by evolutionary mechanisms, yet there is nothing to say that it MUST be advancement, new features, new structures, etc in order to BE evolution. Indeed some of the most rapid evolution we see is the LOSS of features, such as eyeless cave fish.

Is not a fish that lives in a cave loosing its eyes an evolutionary change? One could certainly argue that its “loss” makes it more fit, as it doesn't waste resources making a useless structure; but it certainly isn't more “advanced”.

Do try to keep up with at least the very basics of a theory you wish to critique.

Actually, that's all we see.

I'm trying, but it's difficult since the basics keep changing.
