Can you quote an actual researcher saying something like that? Where does design enter into the picture? Isn't the failure to stop replicating controlled by the interaction between the cell's environment and its genome?

Who said what to whom is irrelevant to me, I just look at the facts and they speak for themselves. I remember a quote posted on a thread here a few months back that said biologists do not need theories, they have the facts.
I thought I had explained how design enters into the question. At first scientists thought that cancer must be caused by a gene. They did not find it. When they started learning that genes were not 'it', but just factories which did what they were told they realized that they needed to look at the processes of the cell, not at a particular gene. The process of when to duplicate a cell is very involved and it has several controls over it. When the controlling mechanism is broken the system breaks down and cells start reproducing uncontrollably (normally after maturity a new cell is only made when an old cell needs to be replaced and the old one is made to commit suicide) This is why we stop growing at a certain point. This is a highly controlled mechanism and when any of the parts works incorrectly you get cancer. Reason why this is design is because it is a system, and system which must be highly exact cannot arise at random. Just think of this, there are 100 trillion cells in the human organism and just one going bad can cause cancer. This requires a very exact and very well controlled system and thus implies that the system was designed. If scientists had been looking for design, they would have found the answer sooner.
