Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection provided a mechanism by which evolution could occur without direction or purpose. However, some argue that complex biological systems like the bacterial flagellum are too complex to have evolved through natural selection alone and instead required an intelligent designer. Critics of intelligent design argue that it does not meet the standards for scientific theory and that natural selection remains the best scientific explanation for the diversity and complexity of life.
