Skin is made in large measure of a protein called collagen.

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.

Allie sighed. It was an old yellow sound, like turning pages.

My eyes are green, Cause I eat a lot of vegetables, It don't have nothing to do with your new friend

When you make a world tolerable for yourself you make a world tolerable for others.

The fact that we elected Obama was a sign that the black struggle inherent in the blues and so much of the music I have loved can triumph.

By reason of weird translation, many such sets of instructions read like poems anyhow.

Ah, if only I had brought a cigar with me! This would have established my identity.

There is no thing we cannot overcome Say not thy evil instinct is inherited, Or that some trait inborn makes thy whole life forlorn, And calls down punishment that is not merited.

Today's challenge for women: to value ourselves and demand that others do, too.

Do you realize that we're meteorites; almost as soon as we're born, we have to disappear?

No matter how bad things are, you can always make things worse. At the same time, it is often within your power to make them better
