| | Mathematical Model of Ciliary Function |
 | | This is one representation of the recovery phase for a cilium as derived by the methods above. | | | The motion of the cilium sweeps through two different planes, one for the effective phase and the other for the recovery phase. | | | The drag coefficient, D > 0, is a constant, the value of which depends on interaction of the cilium with the medium (which refers to the cytosol in the recovery phase). |

| | Thus, there is no reason to think that it is logically or nomologically impossible, according to Darwinian theory, for a set of organisms with a precursor to a fully functional cilium to evolve into a set of organisms that has fully functional cilia. | | | Since natural selection can only choose systems that are already working, if a biological system cannot be produced gradually it would have to arise as an integrated unit, in one fell swoop, for natural selection to have anything to act on (Behe 39; emphasis added). | | | The stronger construction of the conclusion (and argument) incorrectly presupposes that Darwinian theory implies that every precursor to a fully functional system must itself perform some function that makes the organism more fit to survive. |

| | What are Cilia? |
| | A cilium attaches to the cytoskeleton of the cell with a basal body, the way a root attaches hair to our skin. | | | The structure of a cilium is much like a tube, and its long fibers are called microtubules. | | | When kinesin binds to one side of the doublets and not the other, the cilium flexes and curves, similar to the way our skeletal muscles contract. |

| | Brainstorms: The Other Flagellum |
| | The more I think about the differences between the ATP synthase and cilium (and the fact that they are unrelated) the more fascinating the similarity of the rotating mechanism becomes. | | | In the ATP synthase, the complex is both the regulator and rotator (and an ATPase), as opposed to the ~ 100,000 different polypeptides that ~ 300 different polypeptides working in a well defined repeat structure gives rise to, that other flagellum. | | | Probably such cooptions back-and-forth have been going on since the origin of the cilium, so what we really need to know is not what proteins critter X uses for transport, but what the universally conserved proteins are. |
