That’s why the deadly Box Jellyfish (Sea Wasp)is so fascinating. It has a primitive neural net and a ring of teeny eyes, but nothing that could pass as a nerve center.
How can it see without a brain to process images?

Origins of nervous system found in genes of sea spongeYes. Like the origins of a microprocessor are mere sand. Proves evolution to me.

At least sponges don’t bite back as the sharks did in “Deep Blue Sea”.

“Evolution can take these ‘off the shelf’ components and put them together in new and interesting ways.” Sure. That's it. And the notion that Design is involved is just ... just laughable!

So that’s why our brains look like a sponge. Who wudda thunk it.

How can it see without a brain to process images? It would respond to light changes in a chemical, or mechanical way, but there would be no cognition or awareness of them.

Life has an uncanny sense of anticipating its needs before they arise.
Intelligent design.

For the nervous system of a sponge to evolve into the nervous system of a human would require massive amounts of new information. Where would that new information come from?

However, the notion that genetic duplication and mutations are involved is more serious.
