complexity increases through evolution?

I see no evidence for this anywhere. Where is the evidence for this
please.

Look at a bacterium. Then look at an elephant.

Also. If fish gave rise to land animals but some land animals went
back to the sea, then that is backward evolution decreasing the
complexity and not a forward evolution increasing the complexity.

What is your evidence that a land animal evolving to live in the sea
is an example of "decreasing complexity?"

If
an organism's complexity is a reflection of the physical complexity of
its genome then going back to the sea would be a reduction in
complexity by any standard.

False assumption on your part.

"In the animal kingdom, the relationship between genome size and
evolutionary status is not clear. One of the largest genomes belongs
to a very small creature, Amoeba dubia. This protozoan genome has 670
billion units of DNA, or base pairs. The genome of a cousin, Amoeba
proteus, has a mere 290 billion base pairs, making it 100 times larger
than the human genome."

I wish evolution would make up it's mind. Because one can always find
parts of evolution to conflict with other parts of evolution in much
the same way a McD burger will conflict with your metabolism.

It's quite clear that your understanding of evolution is poor. Try to
educate yourself on the topic and you won't be so confused.
