Evolution is central to the scientific creation story. Understanding how evolution works is a necessary prerequisite to a working understanding of the scientific universe.

The failure to understand evolution is one of the biggest hurdles for religious literalists. These failures boil down to the inability to see how complexity can arise from simplicity and randomness.

Fractals help bridge that gap in understanding and allow anyone to see how complex order can arise from simple, random processes over time.

  • Life is based on self-replication. This is meta, feedback loops, fractals
  • Fractals have infinite complexity, amazing symmetry and patterns, but come from simple equations repeated billions and billions of times. Evolution is the simple principle of replication and survival repeated over billions of generations and years.
  • Living systems use fractal structures to create complex structures like our nervous and circulatory systems, or the structure of trees, with simple patterns, repeated.
  • Fractal geometry is the mathematics of growth and natural systems. Euclidean geometry is the mathematics of the man made. When Euclidean geometry is all you know, living systems appear impossibly complicated and could only be the result of design by a much higher intelligence. Once fractal geometry is learned the underlying simplicity of living systems is revealed, and self-creation an inevitability instead of a one in a quintillion random accident.
