Biology has progressed tremendously due to the model that Darwin put forth. But the black boxes Darwin accepted are now being opened, and our view of the world is again being shaken.

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.

You can predict anything in this world but not the nature's behaviour

I'm not an American hero. I'm a person who loves children.

Smoking kills. If you're killed, you've lost a very important part of your life.

Every year I volunteer at a hospital on Thanksgiving, deep-frying turkeys in the children's burn unit. I do it just to see the looks on their little "faces."

Nothing is rarer than true good nature; they who are reputed to have it are generally only pliant or weak.

We see but dimly through the mists and vapors; Amid these earthly damps What seem to us but sad, funereal tapers May be heaven's distant lamps.

Taste is the fundamental quality which sums up all other qualities. It is the ne plus ultra of the intelligence.

Research is always a high priority in my fiction. Songs, fashion, politics, television, movies, trends - I try to get those details right.

Giving Cristiano that much time and space on the ball is like giving Dracula the keys to the blood bank

Love is a person's idea about his/her needs in other person what you are attracted to.
