Shouldn't it be called the 'Theory of Random Change and/or Adaptation' then?

It seems to me that the word 'evolution' is pejorative in the positive sense.

Also, all the historically factual evolutionary charts I've been shown have certainly demonstrated increasing complexity.

It is not I who have coined the phrase 'higher life forms' in respect to the evolution of species.

Perhaps it time for the theory name to evolve, or purely on my value judgment, devolve.

Evolution is defined as adaptation to one's environment - whether it "seems" that way to you is neither here nor there. Something makes me doubt that anyone is going to jump at the chance to take responsibility for how things "seem" to you.

I think you've omitted the critical half of your post, the half where you demonstrate that "more complex" is the same as "better".

B. bufo - the common European toad - has a genome of 6.9 billion base pairs. Your genome is 2.9 billion base pairs. The toad's genome is self-evidently more complex than yours is. Do you intend to argue that the toad is also, in some respect, "better" than you are?
