Evolving Lego Mindstorms

John Conner writes "With a fairly simple routine, you can model evolution with Lego Mindstorms. In this hackaday experiment, robots were created that could mate, evolve, and become extinct. Similar technology could be used in real applications for deployed robot optimization and automatic software updates. Now that physical robot replication is near, it's only a matter of time before... well... You'd better make robot friends while you can."

If I didn't know better, I'd say you were hinting at Intelligent Design ;)

Fine, lets follow your premise - the Universe is so complex, ID suggests, that it must have had a designer.

Now that we've established that, we see that God must then be, by far, the most complex thing. Therefore, God had a designer. Therefore, the notion of a single god is silly and monotheistic religions have it all wrong...
