Complexity? Other than extinctions, most species still exist as they have. We have observe no mutations of single celled creatures, no transition phases in the fossil record, or anything else that would support evolutionary theory.
The evolutionary course of the horse for instance is still found in the tapir of South America. I could go on , and on.
Did you know the tooth they based Peking man on was actually from an extinct pig?!? However school books have not been revised. Evolutionist are still presenting this as "proof".

Of course it can, you have to understand that in the species that came before humans, they didn't just pop out one or two kids per generation, early humans didn't either, they had 10 or more in a generation, and earlier species had litters. So you're looking at far more opportunities for evolution and complexity than in humans today (I'm using humans as an example because most people don't bother looking at evolution of animals because they are so caught up in their little human worlds) and if you go back the cellular level, you're looking at multiple generations in a matter of days or hours. That being said, with each generation you have the opportunity for countless variations and each time there is a variation, it doesn't merely take the place of previous versions, it is added to it. With each generation, the potential for complexity is increased. An "eye" that appeared as a mutated gland of some sort in some creature's great great great (x1000 or so) grandfather once only detected light, can detect intensity, and then shape, distance, eventually color. (greatly simplified) There are so many different types of all sorts of organs, to believe it didn't come about as an evolutionary progression would take a huge stretch of the imagination.

A great many more different types of animals have become extinct before the rise of mammals then after. So basically life forms are getting less complex as they move forward.

No.Give examples of everything that made serious complexity changes.

are you reading or have you read Darwin's black box...?
this question will stir up the anger of many......And I say NO... his theory is lacking......however he had the first fruits of the beginnings... the creationist ideals don't grasp the complexity either...there is so much more than just what humans know now... Keep thinking...

yes. Variations which are successful can be added to with additional successful variations.
Repeat 50 billion times.
