Irreducible complexity
If you are a biologist,you will certainly understand how complex even the single celled organism is. For you to state that irreducible complexity does not exist implies that all our studies on the structure and function of the cell for more than 500 years are wrong. It only shows that you are neither a biologist nor anyone who understands what is being discussed. There are many more mysteries inside the tiny cell we are trying to understand. Can I ask you this? How do you qualify yourself as a critique of Dr. Behe? Are you a member of the National Academy of Sciences? Are you a student? Are you a faculty? What are you? Finally, prove to us that irreducible complexity does not exist.

Re: Irreducible complexity
"Reverend" you know very well that you cannot prove a negative. Can you?

Re: heh
Any one can question and critique the theory of evolution. Even ahigh school kid can do. Yes, there was a kid by name Williams who challenged his teacher on Evolution. It became anational news.All the Priests of the Church of Evolution brought their attack machinery and shot him not on the basis of Science, but nonsense. Unfortunately, the City council members who are not smart took the wrong side.
But, to criticize a well recognized Scientist like Dr. Behe, one must have even a part of his credentials and must be in a better position intelluctually and academically.

Re: Irreducible complexity
When I studied for my exams, I used to be a very strong believer in Evolution.I did not have any idea of the intricate mechanisms. Many many years after my studies, I took a realistic look inside the organization of the cells, the synthetic, transportation mechanisms and the marvellous nervous system, the next question I had was how could such complex system evolve by itself.The basic process of self assembly of proteins does not occur.If this is true, how could more complex systems come into existenc e by themselves. I cannot understand this. In my studies, negative results were equally valuable.Dr. Behe is not alone. I am sure there are many more who believe as him, but are not willing to make public statements for the fear of retribution. Well, this where Science of the 21st century is.
