摘要: Structural and operational principles underlying the organization of vertebrate retina bacterial flagellar apparatus are reviewed in context William Paley’s classic intelligent designer vs. Richard Dawkins’ contemporary “blind watchmaker” interpretations biological origins diversity. The significance inverted retinal microanatomy retinocytophysiology is diagnosed. In process, riposte to Paley refuted. second example more contemporary. terms biophysical complexity, rotor-flagellum without precedent living world. To micromechanicians industrial research development operations, it has become an inspirational, albeit formidable challenge best efforts current technology, but one ripe with potential for profitable application. evolutionists, system presents enigma; creationists, if offers clear compelling evidence purposeful design.
