The theory of undirected evolution is already dead, but the work of science continues.

Proteins are the machinery of living tissue that builds the structures and carries out the chemical reactions necessary for life.

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.

Don't pray when it rains if you don't pray when the sun shines.

It's not a science when you are judging art, but we'd be remiss to say you can't look at something and say, 'This is more well done than that.'

If not every one of these people, who were never perfect, is worthy of our love, at least their fate deserves our attention and our memory. They should talk and be talked about.

If lightning strikes while you're in the car it's your fault.

Birth is the scariest event of most peoples' lives. You have to feel safe enough in your own mind before you can remember your own birth.

What convinces is conviction.

Turning down the Lakers was tough, but it is always good to renew your vows to the loves of your life.

If there's one thing I've learned in the last few months, it's that sometimes you just have to close your eyes and jump.

If you need someone to come out of the sewer with a wire you don't hire someone who needs laborious collective instruction. You let someone do his job, whether he's a focus puller or a surgeon.
