A man from a primitive culture who sees an automobile might guess that it was powered by the wind or by an antelope hidden under the car, but when he opens up the hood and sees the engine he immediately realizes that it was designed.

We are not inferring design to account for a black box, but to account for an open box.

The point here is that physics followed the data where it seemed to lead, even though some thought the model gave aid and comfort to religion.

It is a shock to us in the twentieth century to discover, from observations science has made, that the fundamental mechanisms of life cannot be ascribed to natural selection, and therefore were designed. But we must deal with our shock as best we can and go on.

It is often said that science must avoid any conclusions which smack of the supernatural.
