==Arguing isn’t experimenting, it is philosophy.
All scientists make arguments based on the facts. And in this case, the facts are not in dispute. Moreover, as the author points out, the FACT of autopoiesis lies beyond the reach of materialistic explanation, whereas Creation/ID both predicts and explains it perfectly.
That is merely an assertion, not a fact. He could have saved all of the scientific sounding words and just said "God created everything". It would have been just as valid as science as all the words he uses. It isn't science. It is philosophy based on a metaphysical source. The whole irriducible complexity boondoggle comes down to different people saying the same things in different ways on creationist web sites and in books designed to convince those, like you, that already believe.
Systems are made of components. A cart isn't a wheel and a cart is irreducibly complex. Take away the wheels and it is a box, not a cart. Boxes and wheels however can be combined to make a cart. I have just falsified irreducible complexity, so now you can stop posting this nonsense.
