But are the analytical principles of reverse engineering relevant to biological systems? Yes, they continue:

Note for the analytically challenged... you can't reverse engineer something that was not engineered to begin with.

Note of irony... Satan, Eve, and ultimately Adam all wanted something that they could not have... to be like God.

I always get a kick out of watching history repeat itself.

I'm taking part of that as my tagline :) Thanks :p

You gotta be careful, though, to distinguish between the words "reverse engineer," which were chosen by the author; and the actual phenomena that are being investigated. It may be that the phenomena were in fact the result of a design effort, or it may not. The words used to describe their work have no bearing on what they're actually doing.

It's amazing the parts of the Bible people don't read.

And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil:...

Gen 3:22
