Creation, maybe, but not your progressive ID model, which has a
designer occasionally intervening to inject new complexity; this
implies an increase in complexity over time, not reduction and
simplification.
Evolutionary theory recognizes the fact of sudden beginnings
followed by slow evolution involving reduction in number of parts.
