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

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.

As can be seen even by this limited number of examples proteins carry out amazingly diverse functions.

That's the thing about life. A lot of the time, it isn't easy at all. We just have to try to make the best of it.

My parents are going to kill me!""That seems rather harsh...

Only a mediocre person is always at his best.

I was told that this road would take me to the ocean of death, and turned back halfway. Since then crooked, round-about, godforsaken paths stretch out before me.

I like people and I like them to like me, but I wear my heart where God put it, on the inside.

I'm very disciplined, but the one thing that I have addictive behavior about is the Internet.

The more you read, the more things you will know.

If our hopes of building a better and safer world are to become more than wishful thinking, we will need the engagement of volunteers more than ever.

It is incredible how rich you can get by not being perfect

The freedom to criticize judges and other public officials is necessary to a vibrant democracy.
