In Evolution: A Theory in Crisis Michael Denton mentions the machine like qualities of biological components ....
"According to Paley, we would never infer in the case of a machine, such as a watch, that its design was due to natural processes such as the wind and rain; rather, we would be obliged to po
stulate a watchmaker. Living things are similar to machines, exhibiting the same sort of adaptive complexity and we must, therefore, infer by analogy that their design is also the result of intelligent activity....The conclusion may have religious implications, but it does not depend on religious presuppositions." pages 339 and 341
