Science is better served by attempts to prove things before
those things are accepted rather than accept things until
those things are disproved.  Prove to me that living dinosaurs
exist, don't ask me to prove that they don't.
Anyway:
It has never been demonstrated by observation or demonstrated by
rigorous theory that self-replicating objects can gain complexity
through a process of Natural Selection and Mutation (long term).
Indeed, any such process appears to favor a reduction of complexity.
