A Comprehensive Theory of Intelligent Design

No, he didn’t. Coyne wroteNew parts evolve from old ones, and have to work well with the parts that have already evolved”. Note the absence of “don’t” and “we”…

However, Casey Luskin misquoted Coyne here:

In his book Why Evolution is True , evolutionary biologist Jerry Coyne claims that " Imperfect design is the mark of evolution; in fact it’s precisely what we expect from evolution." (p. 81) He makes this prediction because "[n]ew parts don’t evolve from old ones, and we have to work well with the parts that have already evolved.

which is exactly what @Meerkat_SK5 wrote. @Meerkat_SK5 also gives the same potentially wrong page number as Luskin, the same “[n]ew” as Luskin, and the same two quotes split up in the same way as Luskin.

So once again @Meerkat_SK5 is trying to pass off IDer misrepresentations as the original text, and once again has cited the original source, and not Luskin’s article or wherever he actually got that quote from.

@Meerkat_SK5 is lying about his sources, and bears full responsibility for once again saying the exact opposite of his cited source. There is no reason to think @Meerkat_SK5 has read Coyne’s “Why Evolution is True”, he clearly doesn’t know or care whether his ‘quote’ is representative or accurate, he clearly hasn’t learnt anything from his earlier misrepresentation of Yockey, and any citations from him can be dismissed immediately as unreliable.
