It seems to me that one change at a fundamental level could have less Kolmogorov complexity then several special case exceptions at a surface level. And that is what the bringer change sounds like to me, something at a deep level, connected to death, propagating all through the system.
Since we are already talking about going from a legged animal to a legless one, I don’t see that doing it on a more massive animal can make a significant change in the complexity penalty.
Your approach is wrong, and I don’t know how it went wrong. (I assume the problem is deeper than “bringer change” being unknown to Google.) If you know what “Kolmogorov complexity” means, maybe think about how you would program a simulated world that allows such a change to be “fundamental” and yet produces the evidence that scientists continually find.
On the much less important issue at hand: you seem to have skipped the question of why this God would take legs away from any “snake,” and precisely what that entails. (Should I ask how many Chinese dragons or “seeds” thereof were affected? Or would that distract from the why?)
This is one problems with the absurdity heuristic. Because of deliberately starting at a point with such a long inferential distance, It can be hard to see where the error has taken place.
