I do wish that science writers would point out that Behe's "irreducible complexity" is a bastardized misapplication of the valid engineering principle called "irreducible simplicity"

Actually, I think it would be even funnier if they pointed out that Behe stole the idea from Darwin and then tried to get credit for originating it.

Even more hilarious is that Behe ignored two warnings which Darwin made about what one has to keep in mind when trying to analyze whether something was "irreducibly complex", and as a result Behe's entire thesis is fatally flawed in exactly the way Darwin warned about 146 years ago.
