Page 146 - The Miracle of the Blood and Heart

When Charles Darwin was climbing the rocks of Galapagos
Islands—pursuing the finches that would eventually bear his
name—he must have cut his finger occasionally or scraped a knee.
Young adventurer that he was, he probably paid no attention to the
little stream of blood trickling out. Pain was a fact of life to the intre-
pid island explorer, and it had to be borne patiently if any work were
to get done.
Eventually the blood would have stopped flowing, and the cut
would have healed. If Darwin noticed, it would not have done him
much good to speculate about what was going on. He didn't have
enough information to even guess at the underlying mechanism of
clot formation; the discovery of life lay more than a century in the
future. 61
For an evolutionist, a great many things in nature cannot
be explained. If a mechanism is too complex to have come into
being spontaneously, and if all its component parts must be
present in order for it to be able to function, then this is suffi-
cient evidence to entirely invalidate the theory supported by
the evolutionist in question. Throughout their lives, evo-
lutionists—Darwin included—have encountered a
great many mechanisms of irreducible complexity.
