All living organisms are full of molecular machines that have all the hallmarks of intelligent design.

We have learnt a lot about biology in the past 40 years. In 1973, Theodosius Dobzhansky’s paper Nothing in Biology Makes Sense Except in the Light of Evolution was published in the American Biology Teacher.

Recently, an article in the blog Evolution News & Views stated the current state of our biological knowledge in very different words: “Nothing about molecular machines makes sense without intelligent design.”

Scientists have discovered so much in the past four decades that it has become increasingly difficult to defend Darwinian evolution cogently.
