Thus It Seemed To Haeckel That Such

The Conclusion Of Design Flows Naturally From The Data; We Should Not Shrink From It; We Should Embrace It And Build On It.

There Is No Publication In The Scientific Literature - In Prestigious Journals, Specialty Journals, Or Books - That Describes How Molecular Evolution Of Any Real, Complex Biochemical System Either Did Occur Or Even Might Have Occurred.

Throughout History There Have Been Many Other Examples, Similar To That Of Haeckel, Huxley And The Cell, Where A Key Piece Of A Particular Scientific Puzzle Was Beyond The Understanding Of The Age.

It Was A Shock To People Of The Nineteenth Century When They Discovered, From Observations Science Had Made, That Many Features Of The Biological World Could Be Ascribed To The Elegant Principle Of Natural Selection.

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.
