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.
Proteins are the machinery of living tissue that builds the structures and carries out the chemical reactions necessary for life.
Science is not a game in which arbitrary rules are used to decide what explanations are to be permitted.
The conclusion of design flows naturally from the data; we should not shrink from it; we should embrace it and build on it.
I believe the evidence strongly supports common descent. But the root question remains unanswered: What has caused complex systems to form?
Although Darwin was able to persuade much of the world that a modern eye could be produced gradually from a much simpler structure, he did not even attempt to explain how the simple light sensitive spot that was his starting point actually worked.
