Evolution produces complexity without the least concern. Design tries to
minimize it and create simplicity. As complexity goes up, the challenge
to designed OOL also increases.

According to that theory, the increasing complexity in iron and steel
compounds over the last few centuries means that we can no longer
belive that they all began with iron atoms.

On the other hand, your assertion that "evolution produces complexity
without the least concern" is not self-evident, and is neither an
argument nor a rebuttal. The capability of evolution to produce
complexity is, rather, a fundamental contention.
