Can you think of 'anything' humans have designed without trial and error?
All intelligence gives us, is a memory of past trial and error.
But then the DNA molecule does the same thing for life, doesn't it.
@Rockadayjohnny - Death is essential in evolution. Obviously it relies on change. If the original single celled organism stuck around for ever, there would be no change. Organic structures are fragile things as well... They have only lasted as long as they have because they are constantly replicating themselves.
"trial and error would simplify things until they worked, not make them more complex"
Ah, but the environment is not static or constant, life adapts to the environment it finds itself in... and COMPETITION drives the arms race of complexity and efficiency of form.
