Who says you are simpler than a plant?

Nobody said that - including myself. I said, "That doesn't line up with the idea that we've 'evolved' from a simpler creature or plant."

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

Please go reread Evolution 101.

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.
