The Origin of Life (Electrical)

Hi there,
What do you think of when you hear these words used in a sentence:
Shaft, bearing, stator
One thing that comes to mind for me is a Motor. But guess again, that's not what
this post is about. It's about a microbiological entity that somehow has been able
to create itself (or has been created by something intelligent) that looks just like
a very tiny motor. It's called a bacterial flagellum, and it is what gives some
bacteria their motor movement. It's also amazing that the shafts of these things
can turn as fast as 100,000 RPM's (one hundred thousand RPM's).

The idea is that this mechanism could not have followed Darwin's theory because
it is too complex in that all of the parts that make it up had to have been created
all at the same time because any one part would have been eliminated from the
organism before it had time to develop (evolve) the other parts, and Darwin's
theory states that the changes had to have been very slow over great periods
of time.
This ends up being very interesting and has been suggested by the scientists
as being proof of "Intelligent Design".
Personally, i believe in intelligent design, embodied in what we usually call "God".
