From the article:

Those who keep up with cell science often cannot help but be impressed with the high state of design they observe in the cell.

Seriously, what does that mean? If cells didn't have some sort of "design," they wouldn't exist. This is exactly the same as saying, "Gee whiz, that hole in the sidewalk is amazing. It's the perfect size for that puddle!"

"If cells didn't have some sort of "design," they wouldn't exist."

Ah yes, the weak anthropic principle. Lovely.

"This is exactly the same as saying, "Gee whiz, that hole in the sidewalk is amazing. It's the perfect size for that puddle!""

This is exactly the same as saying, "Jiminy Cricket! Carbon atoms self-assembled into cells and organisms because carbon atoms have an affinity for self-assembling into cells and organisms!"
