“To grasp the reality of life as it has been revealed by molecular biology, we must magnify a cell a thousand million times until it is twenty kilometers in diameter and resembles a giant airship large enough to cover a great city like London or New York. What we would then see would be an object of unparalleled complexity and adaptive design. On the surface of the cell we would see millions of openings, like the port holes of a vast space ship, opening and closing to allow a continual stream of materials to flow in and out. If we were to enter one of these openings we would find ourselves in a world of supreme technology and bewildering complexity.” ScienceBiologyIntelligent DesignIdFactoryIrreducible ComplexityLiving CellsMolecular Machines Book:Evolution: A Theory in Crisis Source: Evolution: A Theory in Crisis
“Molecular machines display a key signature or hallmark of design, namely, irreducible complexity. In all irreducibly complex systems in which the cause of the system is known by experience or observation, intelligent design or engineering played a role in the origin of the system... We find such systems within living organisms.” ScienceBiologyIntelligent DesignBiochemistryIdMolecular Machines Author:Scott A. Minnich
