Wow, that was the exact point I was making. Life does not gravitate towards the simplist arrangement, but everything else in nature does. I'm no expert in any of these fields, but it occours to me that from my science classes and such that even non-organic matter does not arrange in the simplest of structures take for example crystals, some crystals form according to the simplest designs, like salt, but a stalac!@#$%^&*e, or stalagmite, that is formed of minerals and/or salts and whatnot, form according to the influence of pressure, humidity and heat/cold, also iron, which usually the simplest structure in iron is a cube, is mined from the ground in rough amorphous blobs, or sometimes powder, just because it is not "alive", does not mean that it cannot grow, in other forms, cocordantly, just because it is alive does not mean it cannot take on a simple form, ie. plants, and phytoplankton and the like.
