Thus it seemed to Haeckel that such simple life could easily be produced from inanimate material.

Proteins are the machinery of living tissue that builds the structures and carries out the chemical reactions necessary for life.

The theory of undirected evolution is already dead, but the work of science continues.

We can look high or we can look low in books or in journals, but the result is the same. The scientific literature has no answers to the question of the origin of the immune system.

Irreducible complexity is a problem for Darwinian evolution. Whenever we see these complex functional systems we realise that they have to be designed.

Science is not a game in which arbitrary rules are used to decide what explanations are to be permitted.

I believe the evidence strongly supports common descent. But the root question remains unanswered: What has caused complex systems to form?

The conclusion of design flows naturally from the data; we should not shrink from it; we should embrace it and build on it.

I find the idea of common descent (that all organisms share a common ancestor) fairly convincing, and have no particular reason to doubt it.

In order to say that some function is understood, every relevant step in the process must be elucidated.

We are not inferring design to account for a black box, but to account for an open box.

Your marriage, " Jake said, almost impatiently. "It's like the grapes. Just a paint job."He went straight to bed.

Our mind has evolved in such a way that new wants keep appearing in it relentlessly. But do not confuse them with needs. Needs are necessity, but wants are luxury.

When you blame others you are effectively proclaiming that you are only response to stimuli.

Individual capitalists, in short, necessarily act in such a way as to de-stabilize capitalism.

Our galaxy is 10 billion years old. The Earth is only 4.5 billion years old. We are a firefly flicker in the great astrobiology of the galaxy.

Woman reduces us all to the common denominator.

The only feelings that do not heal are the ones you hide.

sometimes we do not realize how much we have to be grateful for until it is threatened.

More data beats clever algorithms, but better data beats more data.

Crawfish have ding dongs and vaginas.
