"Either things gradually morphed (or "evolved") into more complex things, or someone designed them."

Trouble is that you have the Theory of Evolution wrong. Nothing in that theory requires increased complexity, just change. For example, every mammal is essentially at the same level of complexity, yet all evolved from the earliest proto-mammal. You are not really any more complex than a mouse. Your morphology is different. Your brain is of larger size, but constructed in exactly the same way.

You reproduce in the same way as the mouse. Your young feeds on milk produced by mammary glands.

Sometimes, complexity increases, but that is hardly a requirement of the Theory of Evolution. Change is what the TOE is about.

So, you see, you get a basic fact wrong and that affects your argument in a negative way.

I recommend that you go to your local public library and ask for an introductory book on Evolutionary Theory. That way, you can learn something about it.

If I read this correctly, the TOE is, basically:

Things change - get used to it.

Wow! And I thought it was science.

Shalom.

So then, you believe there is a creation/evolution hybrid thing going on? Is my brain more complex than that of a Sparrow? So which part was created, and which part “morphed”.

No, you seem to be more interested in what you think I meant than what I actually typed.

I recommend you brush up on your reading comprehension skills. Education does not equal knowledge, which does not equal wisdom.
