It is a fairly well known feature of software development that a piece of software will grow in complexity up to its authors ability to manage it. The smarter the programmer, the more complexity will eventually creep in. Although a good, smart programmer will fight that complexity creep.
Obviously, our DNA is a very, very complex system since God is omnipotent. Also since God is omnipotent, our DNA is not as complex as it could be. In fact it is probably optimzed to be just as complex as it needs to be.
Of course, evolution might predict the same thing so it isn't really a proof of anything.
Hey, look! Ice cream!
