Skin is made in large measure of a protein called collagen.

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.

There is no publication in the scientific literature - in prestigious journals, specialty journals, or books - that describes how molecular evolution of any real, complex biochemical system either did occur or even might have occurred.

As can be seen even by this limited number of examples proteins carry out amazingly diverse functions.

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

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.

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