ID: What is Irreducible Complexity?

Behe DBB, p 39)
By irreducibly complex I mean a single system composed of several well-matched, interacting parts that contribute to the basic function, wherein the removal of any one of the parts causes the system to effectively cease functioning.     (


What is Irreudicble Complexity (or who is Michael Behe?)


Irreducible complexity (IC) is an argument by proponents of intelligent design that certain biological systems are too complex to have evolved from simpler, or "less complete" predecessors, through natural selection acting upon a series of advantageous naturally occurring chance mutations. It is one of two main arguments intended to support intelligent design, the other being specified complexity.[1] It is rejected by the scientific community,[2] which overwhelmingly regards intelligent design as pseudoscience.[3]


(Wikipedia: Irreducible complexity *IMHO Wikipedia showcases a consistent and visible hostility to ID and any form of Creationism)
