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

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.

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.

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

As you lecture, you keep watching the faces, and information keeps coming back to you all the time.

My own heart let me more have pity on; let Me live to my sad self hereafter kind, Charitable; not live this tormented mind With this tormented mind tormenting yet.

They kept on hollering, and I simply had to put my foot down. I said, 'I'm the governor and I say the ignorant in this state have to learn, blacks as well as whites.' And they learned.

There are very few honest friends--the demand is not particularly great.

It takes more than one person to bring about peace - it takes all of us.

First I made a dress because I was pregnant and I wanted to be the most beautiful pregnant woman. Then I made a sweater because I wanted to have one that wasn't like anyone else's.

I take the ball, I go wide, I cross, I shoot, but when the moment beckons, I am ready to make the difference.

Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading.

It seems to me that the idea traditionally defended of endeavoring to maintain existing ethnic balances simply doesn't work any more.
