Design can never be an ultimate explanation for anything. It can only be a proximate explanation. A plane or a car is explained by a designer but that's because the designer himself, the engineer, is explained by natural selection.

  • -- Richard Dawkins 理查德·道金斯

设计永远不可能是对任何事情的最终解释。这只能是一个近似的解释。飞机或汽车是由设计师来解释的,但那是因为设计师本身,即工程师,是由自然选择来解释的。
