So, the best argument I can see is the philosophical one. But really, thats just grasping at straws.

Do you even know what Irreducible Complexity is?
Yes I do. Now, how does one empirically determine whether or not something is irreducible complex? |

Pete, I would presume you to already have done plenty of reading on this subject, but just in case you haven't, this is a good one: http://www.designinference.com/docum...nningsofID.pdf
BTW, ID is probably the single most devastating thing towards evolution (in my mind) -- though, it encompasses an entire subject matter and many individual citations. |

Reps: 10 (power: 0) | | Pete, the information at the link I just gave should answer your question of How does one empirically determine whether or not something is irreducible complex?
If not, let me know and I will gladly work to accomodate your knowledge appetite! |

Reps: 10 (power: 0) | | | I guess, after all of the reading on ID I have done, I don't see how there is room left to even give it an afterthought. Have you read a considerable amount on the subject, Arikay? |

That question was put to Martin - but as far as irreducible complexity goes - determining it actually takes common sense and some logic (something that evolution theory is devoid of) - apply those to it - and you might get somewhere. |

Reps: 10 (power: 0) | | | Can you name something that you would consider, through common sense and logic, to be irreducibly complex? |

Reps: 5,365 (power: 27) | | Some. Both for and against.
So, why do you believe that ID shows evolution wrong? Today at 02:10 PM NebraskaMan said this in Post #16

Indeed. It is irrelevant. | | |
