This article just supports the concept of Irreducible Complexity (a concept first put forth by Darwin), it says nothing about creation or god.

Irreducible complexity is older than Darwin. The concept of the Designer was universally acknowledged at the time to be God.

You are merely baiting me, as irreducible complexity presumes a Designer. Otherwise why not give a definition of complexity that is workable?

Irreducible Complexity has nothing directly to do with the concept of design. So you say the concept of IC came BEFORE Darwin - really. Please explain the context of Irreducible Complexity BEFORE the theory of evolution was composed.

You assume a lot. Using your logic, if the police found a murder victim they must presume who the murderer is. Science does not work that way - one can observe evidence without understanding the cause.

I pointed out that you clearly did not read the article because you claimed the article made statements that are clearly not contained in the article - you merely presented Evo-Reactionary reply #1 (even though it was totally illogical and inapplicable).

BTW: I have presented both the author's definition of the Irreducible Complexity and my opinion. Unless you are merely baiting me, you need to admit a definition exists and has existed for years.
