Perhaps a new perspective would help
I think that there is an essential point that has up to this point in time been missed: it isn't neccessarily the the organisms themselves that are getting more complex, but the...well lets call it the food chain for now. Ok, so let me try and answer a question...why are there far fewer "more complex" organisms than "simple" organisms. Simple answer...food chain. Predators are in general more complex than their prey. Since predators live solely off of their prey there must be a significantly larger number of the prey than of the predator. I didn't really explain this too well, but will in a later post.
