"Biology has progressed tremendously due to the model that Darwin put forth. But the black boxes Darwin accepted are now being opened, and our view of the world is again being shaken."

Being

"By irreducibly complex I mean a single system composed of several well-matched, interacting parts that contribute to the basic function, wherein the removal of any one of the parts causes the system to effectively cease functioning."

Cause

"We are not inferring design to account for a black box, but to account for an open box."

Design

"Science is not a game in which arbitrary rules are used to decide what explanations are to be permitted."

Science

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

First

"It is often said that science must avoid any conclusions which smack of the supernatural."

Science
