The conclusion of design flows naturally from the data; we should not shrink from it; we should embrace it and build on it.

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

Thus it seemed to Haeckel that such simple life could easily be produced from inanimate material.

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.

I believe the evidence strongly supports common descent. But the root question remains unanswered: What has caused complex systems to form?

Irreducible complexity is a problem for Darwinian evolution. Whenever we see these complex functional systems we realise that they have to be designed.

In private many scientists admit that science has no explanation for the beginning of life... Darwin never imagined the exquisitely profound complexity that exists even at the most basic levels of life.
