We recently proposed a new information-based narrative for the origin and evolution of life, from information processing (computation) to information storage (memory) and information transmission (communication), all possible with chemical automata. In principle we submitted this work to ALIFE 2024, but you can check it here:
"There is no theoretical reason to expect evolutionary lineages to increase in complexity with time, and no empirical evidence that they do so."
Am baffled by this sentence : it means evolution is not science.
If there is no evidence and not even a theoretical expectation, then what do we have left ??
Very interesting post!
