As for the indirect route, Behe concedes it is possible but highly implausible depending on the number of "parts" and the extent of how well-matched the components are....
So the only argument for a designer is that the alternative is possible but "implausible"?
Direction is required because to create an IC system an "end-point" must be envisaged.
But you're assuming that the system
is irreducibly complex. If there is no "end-point", if there is no "complete" or "incomplete" system, if there's only molecules - why is direction needed? You might need direction to get from A to B, but what if you just need to get
anywhere? Why can't systems be built of "anywheres" instead of specific end-points?
Francis Crick quite seriously said aliens came to earth and planted spores to seed the earth.
That has nothing to do with the topic. If aliens brought something irreducibly complex here, it still had to form initially somewhere. The aliens would not be the "designer".
It's not difficult to imagine how an intelligent designer would direct the genome to create an IC system. Behe offers examples in his book (pg. 199 - 205)
Give us some examples, please - specific examples of which functional groups need to be moved where and why it's "implausible" without an intelligent nudger.
