The conclusion of intelligent design flows naturally from the data itself - not from sacred books or sectarian beliefs. Inferring that biochemical sy….
Science is not a game in which arbitrary rules are used to decide what explanations are to be permitted..
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..
There is no publication in the scientific literature - in prestigious journals, specialty journals, or books - that describes how molecular evolution….
If you search the scientific literature on evolution, and if you focus your search on the question of how molecular machines - the basis of life - de….
I believe the evidence strongly supports common descent. But the root question remains unanswered: What has caused complex systems to form?.
In the abstract, it might be tempting to imagine that irreducible complexity simply requires multiple simultaneous mutations - that evolution might b….
Molecular evolution is not based on scientific authority. . . . There are assertions that such evolution occurred, but absolutely none are supported ….
The result of [the] cumulative efforts to investigate the cell - to investigate life at the molecular level - is a loud, clear, piercing cry of 'desi….
As commonly understood, creationism involves belief in an earth formed only about ten thousand years ago, an interpretation of the Bible that is stil….
In private many scientists admit that science has no explanation for the beginning of life... Darwin never imagined the exquisitely profound complex….
We are not inferring design to account for a black box, but to account for an open box..
Although Darwin was able to persuade much of the world that a modern eye could be produced gradually from a much simpler structure, he did not even a….
Irreducible complexity is a problem for Darwinian evolution. Whenever we see these complex functional systems we realise that they have to be designe….
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 ….
Since natural selection requires a function to select, an irreducibly complex biological system, if there is such a thing, would have to arise as an ….
The theory of undirected evolution is already dead, but the work of science continues..
The strong appearance of design [in nature] allows a disarmingly simple argument: if it looks, walks and quacks like a duck, then, absent compelling ….
The first point one has to get straight in discussions like this, is that ID is not the opposite of evolution. Rather, it is the opposite of Darwinis….
Proteins are the machinery of living tissue that builds the structures and carries out the chemical reactions necessary for life..
