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 observation of the intelligent design of life is as momentous as the observation that the earth goes around the sun.

By the time the child can draw more that scribble, by the age of four or five years, an already well-formed body of conceptual knowledge formulated in language dominates his memory and controls his graphic work.

Language has first spoilt drawing and then swallowed it up completely.
