Can we see how complex it is?

How do you meaure complexity? And why should simplicity have to do with design. Crystals can be quite simple, yet no design went into them.

What I'm saying is that even single elements show evidence of great design complexity. The ability of single elements to form themselves into complex systems show much much greater evidence that a Designer is the cause behind both the simple and the complex.
