"Quite the opposite, I clearly wrote in Darwin’s Black Box that even if the individual parts had their own functions, that still does not account for the irreducible complexity of the system. In fact, it would most likely exacerbate the problem, as I stated when considering whether parts lying around a garage could be used to make a mousetrap without intelligent intervention."
this quote, if anything, shows that behe is full of crap.
think about it for a second, how can something be irreducible if it can be reduced to components? behe argues repeatedly that he's not concerned with major systems, but the minor subsystems it is composed of. have you read darwin's black box? i'm working on it.
can you reduce the bacterial flagellum to a subset of working components? yes? then it's not irreducible.
but a more important question: can parts around the garage randomly make a mousetrap? all it takes is a paint can and an unsteady shelf, and bad luck on the mouse's part.
now, if it my garage were a biological system, and found that it LIKED killing mice, perhaps next step would be evolving that unstead shelf into a trigger. some kind of luring device might be next. maybe a propulsion system for the paint can to improve reaction time.
unfortunately, my garage is not biological. to compare it to a biological system is silly. genetics and generations don't apply to the garage, and neither does variation and natural selection.
