The problem with natural selection has been highlighted by Behe. Given the theorized age of the earth and of life on earth, there simply isn't enough time to account for the irreducible complexity that is seen.

That's not Behe. Behe believes in evolution and IC. You have your gurus mixed up.

That is Behe.

The entire point of the complexity argument is that natural selection operating on random mutation does not provide an adequate vehicle for the complexity we see.

If you will recall, they perform a probability calculation to demonstrate this. The point of the probability is to demonstrate how remote is the possibility in the available time.
