Unlocking the Mystery of Life2003

Paul Nelson:
When I look at molecular machines, or the incredibly complex process by which cells divide, I want to ask is it possible that these things had an intelligence behind them? That there was a plan or a purpose to this structure. Science ought to be a search for the truth about the world. Now we shouldn't prejudge what might be true. We shouldn't say, I don't like that explanation so I'm going to put it to one side. Rather, when we come to a puzzle in nature, we ought to bring to that puzzle every possible cause that might explain it. One of the problems I have with Evolutionary Theory is that it artificially rules out a kind of cause even before the evidence has a chance to speak, and the cause that's ruled out is intelligence.
