Here's a link to the short but interesting article. Evolution of the Bacterial Flagella

OK, from the link.....SECOND paragraph, mind you....

I recently ran across some material that bears directly on this question. In this article I'll outline the construction of eubacterial flagella, it's relationship to other systems, and end with a speculative scenario for the evolution of eubacterial flagella

Could you provide something a little more substantial with which to try to shoot down ID and IC?

"Could you provide something a little more substantial with which to try to shoot down ID and IC? "

What's IC?

Musgrave referred to it, too, and I didn't know what he meant. It is for this reason that I normally eschew acronyms.

Now that I understand the terms, I can answer this question:

"Could you provide something a little more substantial with which to try to shoot down ID(Intelligent Design) and IC(Irreducible Complexity)?"

No.

For that is not my purpose. I do not believe that things in biology can be irreducibly complex. That is my understanding, and my belief.

I do not necessarily disbelieve in Intelligent Design. My question would be; if evolution can be seen as an effective method to provide variety among species, and the necessary change that lets them survive and prosper with challenge and time, then why cannot evolution be seen as an efficient method to design various creatures and entities?
