But sequence comparisons simply can't account for the development of complex biochemical systems any more than Darwin's comparison of simple and complex eyes told him how vision worked.

By irreducibly complex I mean a single system composed of several well-matched, interacting parts that contribute to the basic function, wherein the removal of any one of the parts causes the system to effectively cease functioning.

In Darwin's time all of biology was a black box: not only the cell, or the eye, or digestion, or immunity, but every biological structure and function because, ultimately, no one could explain how biological processes occurred.

I never get into comparisons. And I don't know his father's game well enough to make a comparison. His bloodlines are obviously very strong. But he's his own man and he's developing his own game.

Oftentimes figuring out how to say something simply is a complex process.

In many biological structures proteins are simply components of larger molecular machines.
