a: To say that life is caused by evolution ~
b: saying that the internet was created by google

What: "Philosophically speaking, all that evolution claims to do is provide a kind of search algorithm. To say that life is caused by evolution, is like saying that the internet was created by google. So even if the proposed evolutionary processes took place, it can't really explain away the mysteries of life or deny intelligent design."

a: Basal body ~
b: motor of the flagellum

What: "flagella, which consists of three basic parts: a filament, hook, and basal body. The filament is a hollow tube made up of helical chains of the protien flagellin. The hook is flexible and connects the filament and basal body. The hook rotates as protons either are pumped or diffuse from the cell. The basal body is like the motor of the flagellum."
