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.

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

Rest and your energy will be restored.

There are photographs of people you don't recognize and photographs of you in ways you don't wish to be remembered, but they each contain elements of places or times you do not wish to forget.

The mind can assert anything and pretend it has proved it. My beliefs I test on my body, on my intuitional consciousness, and when I get a response there, then I accept.

I went through the fields, and sat for an hour afraid to pass a cow. The cow looked at me, and I looked at the cow, and whenever I stirred the cow gave over eating.

Punk is no longer a subculture or a counterculture in any way. It's totally just a small reflecting mirror for the same things that go on in larger culture.

If we have the truth, it cannot be harmed by investigation. If we have not the truth, it ought to be harmed.

All of us were mischievous at some time or another, I more so than any of the rest. [My brother] Philbert and I kept a battle going. ... Even in our fighting, there was a feeling of brotherly union.

I am a frustrating interviewee. I'm like Ronald Reagan. I don't remember and I don't recall.

How would I treat a girl if she was my girlfriend? I'm a really affectionate person and I like being a gentleman.
