What Precipitated the Intelligent Design Movement?
Here are some thoughts prompted by a rather curious question posed to me in an email, namely, “What were the findings that most helped ID since the turn of the millennium?”
Informed Choice Seen in Cellular Nanomachines
As imaging techniques approach nanometer resolution, the detailed workings of molecular mechanisms reveal precision engineering designs.
An Icon Revisited: Flagellar Hook Shows Further Aspects of Design
If you tried to build a pipe that had to rotate on its long axis while maintaining its angular shape, could you do better than this?
Molecular Motor Threads a Spiral Staircase
Get acquainted with another irreducibly complex molecular motor. This one is a master at unfolding proteins. Its method is ingenious.
Inside the Machine Room of the Nucleus
The nucleus is a beehive of activity, where information is not just stored but processed, protected, transcribed, and duplicated by highly complex machines.
