C. elegans is a tiny worm with about 1,000 cells and a very simple nervous system. Yet biologists were stunned to discover it has nearly as many protein-coding genes as humans. Less size. Less complexity. Similar genetic toolkit. That’s a problem for the idea that genes alone drive upward evolution. Complexity isn’t built by adding parts over time. It’s orchestrated. Design explains why a “simple” worm and a human can share deep molecular machinery while being fundamentally different. We are not
