All the most complex systems we know of were built bottom-up. Even what humans do: Language. Villages. Economies. The Internet. If there was a central planner, a Ministry of Language established in 1605, we would all be stuck talking like Shakespeare forfooth.
All the best thing nature or humans do are bottom-up.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQhkrYqA7S4&t=42sThe idea of a central planner that can outdo bottom-up decentralized effects, aka chaos, comes from millenia of political propaganda. Politics, of course, being the father of religion. The first kings were gods. God is modeled as a King of Kings and widely believed to have his representatives on Earth in Rome.
