I can explain the complex structures, or at least a theory for it- all around us in nature you can find organisms living in or with other organisms for commensal benefit- a jelly fish- for example is not a fish, but like a coral is thousands of tiny specialized individuals banding together to form one organism. It isn't hard to imagine this type of specialization being encoded for- it's more efficient that way. Of course I wouldn't worship this idea at an altar and bring it flowers, and give it money every Sunday- but considering what I know about jelly fish and corals and cyanobacteria, and photosynthesis and our own internal flora(all are examples of organisms possibly incorporating or banding with other organisms to achieve a desired result) I find the probability for the evolution of complex structures at least probable.
