Unit of life 5

(cont'd from this post)

Biochemist Dr. Michael Behe begins #5 in his series on "Secrets of the Cell" by saying, "What was a mystery to Darwin is now well known. We know that the cell has codes and transmits information that regulates the size and shape of living things."

Complicated machines made of molecules do the individual cell's work. Many of these molecular machines are irreducibly complex. 

They could not have randomly evolved without direction or guidance. If a part of a molecular machine like the bacterial flagellum happened to evolve, it could not be selected by "natural selection" to survive and be passed on to the next generation . . because it would not give any survival advantage by itself--not until all the parts had evolved and were in place.

That's irreducible complexity.

"Natural selection" cannot work toward a future goal or target that doesn't exist yet. That's what a mind does.
