In No Free Lunch, William Dembski shows that blind natural processes, such as the Darwinian mechanism of natural selection and random variation, are incapable of generating biological structures like the bacterial flagellum.
This has revolutionary implications for the natural sciences. Dembski’s research shows that nature is not ruled by unbroken natural laws, but rather that intelligence is a fundamental creative force in nature.
