"But sequence comparisons simply can't account for the development of complex biochemical systems any more than Darwin's comparison of simple and complex eyes told him how vision worked."

Development

"In Darwin's time all of biology was a black box: not only the cell, or the eye, or digestion, or immunity, but every biological structure and function because, ultimately, no one could explain how biological processes occurred."

Time

"It is a shock to us in the twentieth century to discover, from observations science has made, that the fundamental mechanisms of life cannot be ascribed to natural selection, and therefore were designed. But we must deal with our shock as best we can and go on."

Life

"In order to say that some function is understood, every relevant step in the process must be elucidated."

Order

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

Science

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

Science

Cause

"In many biological structures proteins are simply components of larger molecular machines."

Machine
