How do you go about proving a negative?

Ask Darwin. "If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed, which could not possibly have been formed by numerous, successive, slight modifications, my theory would absolutely break down..."

You should be aware that every example of irreducible complexity from Behe's original formulation has become reducible with research.

As I said before, that's EXACTLY as it should work.

And if ID proponents were honest researchers, that's what they would be doing -- attempting to prove the null hypothesis. Science cannot prove supernatural causes; it can only demonstrate natural causes. It may fail, but many problems have taken centuries.
