A favourite creationists straw man parody of science says that evolutionary biologists believe evolution is a process of increasing complexity, leading eventually to humans - the most complex of all species.
This is utter nonsense, of course, being intelligently designed to easily attack and make evolutionary biology look like something no rational person would believe, so creationists dupes can feel smugly superior to scientists without bothering to learn any real science.
Creationists dogma also says that a genome was intelligently designed, so does not contain any redundant or non-coding DNA, since an intelligent designer would not have designed needless complexity and prolific waste (both characteristics of a mindless evolutionary process).
So, it leaves creationists floundering when science discovers genomes many times larger (for larger read 'more complex', in creationist terminology) than the human genome. In fact, the human genome is about average for the number of genes and size of the genome compared to other animals and very much smaller than that of many animals and plants.
