From our moral and intellectual superiors, no less.
From Granville Sewell’s In the Beginning:
A recent (November 10, 2008) article in News at Princeton entitled “Evolution’s New Wrinkle: Proteins with Cruise Control Provide New Perspective,” reports on research by four Princeton scientists, published in a Physical Review Letters article:”
The experiments, conducted in Princeton’s Frick Laboratory, focused on a complex of proteins located in the mitochondria, the powerhouses of the cell. … Chakrabarti and Rabitz analyzed these observations of the proteins’ behavior from a mathematical standpoint, concluding that it would be statistically impossible for this self-correcting behavior to be random, and demonstrating that the observed result is precisely that predicted by the equations of control theory. …
he authors sought to identify the underlying cause for this self-correcting behavior in the observed protein chains. Standard evolutionary theory offered no clues. …
Chakrabarti said. “Control theory offers a direct explanation for an otherwise perplexing observation and indicates that evolution is operating according to principles that every engineer knows.”
The scientists do not know how the cellular machinery guiding this process may have originated, but they emphatically said it does not buttress the case for intelligent design,…
Oh, why not?
