Well here's your first mistake; you start with "Going by the bible" in a thread about evolution. All conclusions you draw therein are rendered moot

But doesn't pondering on how to become that age spark any interest in you?

no because it's obviously bullshit. Nobody has ever lived that long, just because some dude wrote it in a book 1800 years ago doesn't mean it has ANY bearing on reality whatsoever.

you know what i did in english class? I came to class stoned out of my mind every day, i chugged vodka in the back of class, i put dead fish in the ceiling tiles. i put a gallon of old milk and orange juice in the file cabinet before winter vacation. i brought snakes in a tied up sweater and let them loose during class. i didnt go to school to learn, i went because i had to. i didnt care, and i didn't fucking listen to that stupid bitch. and i still don't fucking care. i tore the pages out of her books and burned them, and threw away all the books in the class, two books per day.

We de-evolved but that's nothing to do with age. It is with our brains shrinking. When we stopped using entheogens we lost touch with our source of consciousness and our egos grew.
"The ego will begin to form in the personality very quickly in the absence of psilocybin in the diet" - McKenna 
"Psilocybin actually erodes the ego. This is what is put against a lot of psychedelics. They say, 'These stoners, they don't punch the time clock, and when you threaten to fire them, it seems to have no effect on them. I don't know how to reach these people.' Well, the way you reach them is you appeal to something other than the ego." - McKenna

Why does everyone assume evolution means a gain in complexity?

It doesn't, but that is what they were talking about.
Ever seen idiocracy?

Yes. Still devolution really is our construct, it's just evolution whether it marks a gain in complexity or loss of complexity.
