"Irreducible complexity could be falsified by demonstrating reducible complexity for the biochemical reactions cited in ID."

First error:
In no way irreducible complexity (IC) is linked only with intelligent design.

Second error:
How do we know for sure that it is impossible for an evolutionary process to create any form of IC? We can't because every available definition of IC can't eliminate an evolutionary way to an IC status.

Third error:
Is it also impossible to show that IC doesn't exists as it is impossible to show that some deity doesn't exists. You can prove that one system is not IC but you can't show that IC is impossible at all.

I appreciate your remarks. On this subject I know that I don't know. I just don't know what it is I don't know. But I have questions. I was taught that in nature all things "wind down", and that things move from "order to chaos". I find that these supposedly scientific facts do not square well with other scientific facts. I do not dismiss evolution out of hand even though I have never observed it. Neither do I except Intelligent Design just because I sense a programmer behind the Genetic Code.
