Behe gave them in the trial- Miller deceitfully took JUST the REDUCIBLE aspects of the IC systems Behe presented and claimed that because these particular REDUCIBLE elements ‘could have’ arisen (Despite a complete lack of evidence to prove that they infact did exist or arise), then the whole system (INCLUDING the IC elements) was therefore ‘reducible- this was a deceitful biased bit of assinine argument, and the judge fell for it- Behe later fully explained that his examples were STILL Irreducible because the IRREDUCIBLE parts of the whole system could NOT have arisen naturally

There are other examples which you’ll find by doing a little research.

This Behe?

“First, defense expert Professor Fuller agreed that ID aspires to “change the ground rules” of science and lead defense expert Professor Behe admitted that his broadened definition of science, which encompasses ID, would also embrace astrology. Moreover, defense expert Professor Minnich acknowledged that for ID to be considered science, the ground rules of science have to be broadened to allow consideration of supernatural forces.”

“Rothschild suggested that Behe’s definition was so loose that astrology would come under this definition as well. He also pointed out that Behe’s definition of theory was almost identical to the NAS’s definition of a hypothesis. Behe agreed with both assertions.”
