                Whenever bleeding takes place                           vessels
               anywhere in the body, all the pro-
               teins responsible for halting that
               bleeding immediately travel to the
                injured tissue. Clotting, which
              takes place with the cooperation of
               a great many proteins, is an irre-
              ducibly complex process that can-
                not be explained by evolution.
