“A despeito de todas as aparências, os únicos relojoeiros da natureza são as forças cegas da física, ainda que atuem de um modo muito especial. Um verdadeiro relojoeiro tem antevisão: ele projeta suas molas e engrenagens e planeja suas conexões imaginando o resultado final com um propósito em mente. A seleção natural, o processo cego, inconsciente e automático que Darwin descobriu e que agora sabemos ser a explicação para a existência e para a forma aparentemente premeditada de todos os seres vivos, não tem nenhum propósito em mente”
