As a special favor, can you find the main point and restate it in a single sentence of 50 words or less?

"In the real world, reducible complexity is far more useful, stable and important than irreducible complexity."

reducible complexity

We'll add that term to our Wolfram search list.

Oh now that helps!

And all the time I just thought they were telling me that once something is set in motion it is more likely to continue (or stop) rather than turn a corner.

"In the real world, reducible complexity is far more useful, stable and important than irreducible complexity."

That may be your belief. That may a requirement for evolution also. However, the article does not say that. Also, everything we keep learning about life, shows that it is more complex than before. Who would have thought that we had duplicate sets of genes which are randomly passed on to the next generation? Who would have thought that genes were so utterly complex? Who would have thought that the entire organism was so closely interrelated? Certainly not Darwin, certainly not evolutionists.
