[edit] Minor comment regarding the lead

I'm just wondering if The evolution of complexity is a common area of confusion in popular conceptions of evolution is the best lead sentence. Shouldn't we be describing the evolution of complexity here, as opposed to its rate of confusion? Cheers, darkliight^[πalk] 21:01, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orthogenesis

I notice that this other article seems to be on a related subject. Am I mistaken?--Filll 23:05, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Good addition, thanks. Tim Vickers 23:16, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Believe it or not, I have lots more in a rough draft on my machine. I might get around to cleaning it up and then we can maybe put some of that material in one article or the other. This subject seems to be an endless source of fascination for assorted cranks and new-age kooks of one type and another.--Filll 23:45, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
