A simple flagellic motor under Quetzel's model would seem to require:
1) 'Pre-adaptations'. (These seem required for all 'complexities', perhaps) Most (perhaps 99.9%) probably have no adaptive advantage, these would thus fail and no 'complexity' would be formed. The ‘correlation’ of ‘observed’ phenomenon with the orchid and moth seems to demonstrate a paired IC phenomenon implying ID. The correlation of these observations seem to remain in the "outer darkness" of scientific thought - right up there next to the flat earth and geocentric theories for mutationalists and creationists alike.
2) Demonstration of thousands to millions of 'beneficial DNA-mutations' via artificial selection (at least), and not computer models would seem necessary as well. Correct me if I am wrong: But has there ever been a 'beneficial DNA-mutation demonstrated by artificial selection?
3) The plausibility factor seems nill as statistics of complexity-formations fail in what appears the closed entropic system (correct me if I'm wrong).
Conclusion: A likely mechanism for ICs, thus, cannot be inferred by observance of 'homologues' and 'successions' at this point. Pre-adaptive mutations undergo this triple ‘scientific’ impossibility. The IC model ‘appears’ valid for a flagellum-motor and most other ‘complexities’ within stellar and biological forms. ID forces seem highly and conspicuously causative here despite their not being palpable at present.
