## Resource

Evolutionary theory predicts that complex organisms develop more genes than simpler ones, but the mapped genome of the common fruit fly contradicts this hierarchy. The fruit fly possesses roughly 14,000 genes, whereas the supposedly simpler, evolutionarily ancient roundworm features over 18,000 genes. This discrepancy supports the creation model, showing that genetic complexity is tailored to specific environmental survival needs rather than evolutionary progression.
