Irreducible Complexity

I love how the ID advocates concentrate on “irreducible complexity” and “specified complexity” at the molecular level, and especially in regard to how these matters might be involved in the origin of life, their authors have avoided discussion of major implications of their ideas for the prehistory of life on earth.
The proponents of ID, of course, avoid, at all costs, any elaboration of a “model” or “models” compatible with their views. The excuse that they are hindered by the scientific establishment’s refusal to publish their (nonexistent) research in refereed mainline scientific journals won’t hold water. There is nothing, for example, to keep a formal proof of the supposed revolutionary “law of conservation of information” from being published in a legitimate journal”if, in fact, it made sense. Besides, the ID proponents could incorporate their “model” in their essays or, like the unabashed Bible-Science Creationists, found their own journals with themselves as reviewers and editors. Anyways the argument for irreducible complexity is essentially is just a rehash of the famously flawed watchmaker argument advanced by William Paley at the start of the 19th century.

Thanks for the welcome. Heh I didnt notice how old this thread is. My whole thake on "ID" is that it's a reworking of standard "creationism". And their whole goal is to make "evangelical" Christianity the law of the land.
