How can you recognise design in science?

Prof Ed Neeland answers on design in the chemistry in living cells.'You’re out for a walk. Hey, a new house on your block! Very pretty. A man taps you on the shoulder and says “That house happened by itself.” You consider the bricks, windows, doors, ductwork, carpets, electrical/telephone wiring, plumbing, wallpaper, TV, and all the appliances. Is the man mad? Houses are designed by architects, and built by skilled trades workers!
I face a similar situation. I am a PhD synthetic chemist. My scientific colleagues tap me on the shoulder and say that a much more complex house happened by itself – the “simple” cell.
How complex is the cell? Science has shown that the cell is a factory which is filled with complex molecules, complex structures, an incredible computer programming code AND there are the machines. We have discovered molecular machines (flagella) which propel some cells, other machines (motor proteins) transport chemicals (using legs to move!) while still other machines search out and repair mistakes in the DNA strands. Imagine billions of little robots on your car. They repair rust spots, take away waste, maintain air pressure in the tires, and they even make and deliver fuel to the tank. That’s a rough idea of how machines work in a cell. And there is so much more to learn! [Creation Research.]

You may not be too surprised to learn of the brickbats hurled at Ed Neeland by evolutionists who do not merely disagree but do not even think that he is entitled to interpret data in any way other than their own.
Anything stated draws attacks - the bulk of which are actually personal.
It is the way that anybody out of step is treated which, more than any other single factor, makes me suspect that the apoplectic agressor has a very weak case.
Bottom line. How many are prepared to enter into public debate with Ed? -
'Ah, well. Mustn't do that. It would be adding credibility to his case.' 
And there was silly me thinking that they're runnin' scared!

Why Are We So Far From The Church Described in Acts?
