TOE and the Reasons for Doubt

No, you are wrong.Eldredge and Gould offered and explanation for why there is an incomplete record in many cases but not all of speciation. They were not talking about transitionals between higher taxa.You should avoid arguments fed to you by liars when you don't understand the actual biology.Edited by NosyNed, : No reason given.

So what if it can't?

Even if the answer is no parts can be removed without the cell function ceasing it doesn't matter.You have fallen for the irreducible complexity trick and you don't understand what is wrong with it.An irreducible complex thing can be created not just by adding bits one at a time it can be created by subtracting things too. With that the whole IC argument is dead.

Rather that actually acknowledge the point made you actually resort to a quote mine? After all the discussion here at EvC about the dishonest use of such things in the creationist community this is the best you can do?A perfect example, thank you for it.
