In another UD thread I made a passing comment about the fact that I had just read Doug Axe’s essay on protein folds in The Nature of Nature.
I commented:
Speaking of The Nature of Nature, today I read Doug Axe’s essay, The Nature of Protein Folds: Quantifying the Difficulty of an Unguided Search through Protein Sequence Space on page 412. Anyone who reads this and comes away believing that Darwinian mechanisms can produce this technology is living on another planet than I do, or perhaps in a hyper-version of Alice’s Wonderland where a near infinite number of impossible things are believed before breakfast.
You can reference the thread in the link above for comments from Mung, who went to the trouble of typing up some of Doug’s text. And bornagain77 went to the trouble of supplying the following video links:

The bottom line is the following: Richard Dawkins’ Mount Improbable does not have a backside with lots of tiny stairs. Dawkins and his ilk are the real pseudoscientists and dogmatists. They make up stories out of whole cloth with no empirical, mathematical, or other validation/scrutiny, and then declare that their conclusions must be accepted because the obvious alternative of design is philosophically unacceptable.
This is not science. This is the antithesis of science. Doug Axe is a real scientist who follows the evidence where it leads.
