The Result Of [the] Cumulative Efforts To Investigate The Cell - To Investigate Life At The Molecular Level - Is A Loud, Clear, Piercing Cry Of 'design!' The Result Is So Unambiguous And So Significant That It Must Be Ranked As One Of The Greatest Achievements In The History Of Science. The Discovery Rivals Those Of Newton And Einstein, Lavoisier And Schrödinger, Pasteur, And Darwin. The Observation Of The Intelligent Design Of Life Is As Momentous As The Observation That The Earth Goes Around The Sun.

In The Abstract, It Might Be Tempting To Imagine That Irreducible Complexity Simply Requires Multiple Simultaneous Mutations - That Evolution Might Be Far Chancier Than We Thought, But Still Possible. Such An Appeal To Brute Luck Can Never Be Refuted... Luck Is Metaphysical Speculation; Scientific Explanations Invoke Causes.

As Commonly Understood, Creationism Involves Belief In An Earth Formed Only About Ten Thousand Years Ago, An Interpretation Of The Bible That Is Still Very Popular. For The Record, I Have No Reason To Doubt That The Universe Is The Billions Of Years Old That Physicists Say It Is. Further, I Find The Idea Of Common Descent (that All Organisms Share A Common Ancestor) Fairly Convincing, And Have No Particular Reason To Doubt It.

Irreducible Complexity Is A Problem For Darwinian Evolution. Whenever We See These Complex Functional Systems We Realise That They Have To Be Designed.

It Was Only About Sixty Years Ago That The Expansion Of The Universe Was First Observed.
