You could take issue with the fact that an algorithm counts as the "designer" in that case, I suppose. I think it could count.-another example, equally profound as a god to people with a religion of nature....to add to yours (and spongebobs)
Genetic material is simpler, by itself, than the animal it creates...but, biology in general is more complex than any one individual or species. Whether we think nature or god establish(es/ed) the Rules of The Cosmos, causality et al, the possibility of design... the relationship can observably flow in both directions from the complex to the simpler, or the simpler to the complex.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
