Quoting Darwin's acknowledgment "If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ...modifications, my theory would absolutely break down," Behe introduces the concept of irreducible complexity: a system is irreducibly complex if it would... | |

...consistent with the theory of evolution! Charles Darwin, the father of evolution theory, also stated, "If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ...modifications, my theory would absolutely break down!" Many and repeated times it has broken down! Biochemists have shown that biochemical systems are designed... | |
