Quote by Scott A. Minnich

Molecular machines display a key signature or hallmark of design, namely, irreducible complexity. In all irreducibly complex systems in which the cause of the system is known by experience or observation, intelligent design or engineering played a role in the origin of the system... We find such systems within living organisms.

Summary

This quote argues that molecular machines in living organisms exhibit a characteristic called irreducible complexity, which indicates intelligent design or engineering as their origin. Irreducible complexity refers to systems composed of multiple interdependent parts, where the removal or alteration of any component would render the system non-functional. According to the quote, based on experience and observation, whenever the cause of such systems is known, intelligent design or engineering is involved. In this context, the speaker suggests that the presence of irreducibly complex molecular machines in living organisms supports the idea of intelligent design or engineering being responsible for their existence.

Never neglect the little things. Never skimp on that extra effort, that additional few minutes, that soft word of praise or thanks, that delivery of the very best that you can do. It does not matter what others think, it is of prime importance, however, what you think about you. You can never do your best, which should always be your trademark, if you are cutting corners and shirking responsibilities. You are special. Act it. Never neglect the little things.
