My point, and one of the lessons of this book, is that the things we see in nature are actually NOT that complex. Sure, they are endlessly varied and superficially very complicated, but the rules that govern them are pretty simple. We're able to describe them pretty well with simple computer programs and don't need to be a god to do so. Complexity and endless variation can result from extremely simple systems that are often easily understandable And follow directly from basic laws of nature.
