For by Him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible,...For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, ...so that THEY ARE WITHOUT EXCUSE: Col 1:16 / Rom.1:20

Hox genes = DESIGNER

For by Him were all things created.... Colossians 1:16

"Hox genes are clusters of “master switches” in the genome that act like body-plan architects.
Each gene produces a protein that turns other genes on or off, telling
cells where they are along the head-to-tail axis.

Strikingly, the order of Hox genes on the chromosome matches the order of the body parts they control — a phenomenon called colinearity.
In mammals there are four clusters (Hox A–D), conserved across animals from flies to humans.
Even small shifts in their regulation can make the difference between a fin, a limb, or a digit."
