"I said simpler creature because it seems to me that if you're 'evolving' you're taking a step up from something less."

Is a tapeworm simpler than a free-living flat worm?

It doesn't matter what "seems" to you. It matters what the science is. Evolution goes in the direction of survival of populations not complexity.

OK, you've managed to take something totally out of context that wasn't even directed at you. We were talking about man. Surely we can agree that if man evolved he's improved over time. Isn't that at the core of the evolution theory? We share a common ancestor and have become human over billions of years? Surely we'd be considered better, and yes more complex, than whatever supposedly sired us. Right?

I'm not going to keep arguing just for the hell of it. It SEEMS to me that you had to dig pretty deep to find something to argue about in this case.
