well, vr, he's got you. crawl under a rock and croak. :)
Hmm - anyone seen VR?
Bah!! Et tu, Furball! ;)
"An irreducibly complex system cannot be produced directly by numerous, successive, slight modifications of a precursor system, because any precursor to an irreducibly complex system that is missing a part is by definition nonfunctional. .... Since natural selection can only choose systems that are already working, then if a biological system cannot be produced gradually it would have to arise as an integrated unit, in one fell swoop, for natural selection to have anything to act on." (Behe 1996b)Evolution cannot explain irreducible complexity, defined as systems which cannot suffer the removal or disablement of a single component without loss of function. -- VR, 2005
OK, I said "Evolution cannot explain it" rather than "It can't have evolved."
Anyway, all it takes is a little scaffolding, something that goes away eventually. You can word it this way or that way, but the argument is still wrong-headed.
