"Father's words, my studies, and my prayers convinced me that I should devote my life to destroying Darwinism, just as many of my fellow Unificationists had already devoted their lives to destroying Marxism. When Father chose me (along with about a dozen other seminary graduates) to enter a Ph.D. program in 1978, I welcomed the opportunity to prepare myself for battle."
「父[文鮮明]の言葉、私の研究、および私の祈りにより、私がダーウィニズムを破壊するのに人生をささげるべきであると確信しました。ちょうど私の統一協会信者の仲間の多くが既にマルキシズムを破壊するのに彼らの人生をささげたように。父[文鮮明]が1978年に、およそ12人のセミナー修了者とともに私を博士号プログラムに選んだとき、私は戦いのために準備する機会を得られたことを喜びました。」
Darwinism: Why I Went for a Second Ph.D.
"During my years as a physical science undergraduate and biology graduate student at the University of California, Berkeley, I believed almost everything I read in my textbooks. I knew that the books contained a few misprints and minor factual errors, and I was skeptical of philosophical claims that went beyond the evidence, but I thought that most of what I was being taught was substantially true."
「カリフォルニア大学バークレイ校の自然科学大学生と生物学大学院生としての私の数年間、教科書で読むほとんどすべてを信じていました。教科書には、いくつかの誤植とささやかな事実の誤りがあるのはわかっていましたし、証拠を超えた哲学的な主張には懐疑的でした。それでも、私は教えられていたことの大部分が実質的に本当であると思っていました。」
[ Jonathan Wells, “Do Centrioles Generate a Polar Ejection Force? Rivista di Biologia/Biology Forum 98 (2005): 37-62. ]
Instead of viewing centrioles through the spectacles of molecular reductionism and neo-Darwinism, this hypothesis assumes that they are holistically designed to be turbines.
What if centrioles really are tiny turbines? This is much easier to conceive if we adopt a holistic rather than reductionistic approach, and if we regard centrioles as &bold(){designed} structures rather than accidental by-products of neo-Darwinian evolution (Wells[2004]).
