How to Explain Irreducible Complexity

The Center for Science and Culture
April 7, 2006

We think this breakthrough paper should be used as a model for other such efforts in the future. Here, then, is an easy-to-follow lab manual, drawing on the example of Bridgham et al., for explaining irreducible complexity.

Irreducible Complexity Stands Up To Biologist’s Research Efforts

Discovery Institute
April 6, 2006
SEATTLE – After several years of claiming that there is no debate about the theory of intelligent design (ID) researchers have published an article bringing the debate to the pages of the latest issue of Science. Three researchers, Jamie Bridgham, Sean Carroll and Joe Thornton claim to … » Go

Introduction and Responses to Criticism of Irreducible Complexity

The Center for Science and Culture
February 20, 2006
Modern biology has discovered that cells are like miniaturized factories that function using micromolecular machines. In Darwin’s Black Box (1996), Lehigh University biochemist Michael Behe proposed that many of these molecular machines exhibit irreducible complexity and therefore could not have … » Go

Irreducible Complexity

Editor
January 1, 2006
Using examples of bacterial motors, cilia, vision, cellular transport, and more, Dr. Michael Behe explains why Darwinian gradualism fails to explain the origin of molecular machines. Through the incorporation of computer animations, this video brings Dr. Behe’s book, Darwin’s Black … » Go

Michael Behe on Molecular Exploitation and the Theory of Irreducible Complexity

Michael J. Behe
January 1, 2006

The bottom line of the study is this: the authors started with a protein which already had the ability to strongly interact with three kinds of steroid hormones (aldosterone, cortisol, and “DOC” [11-deoxycorticosterone]). After introducing several simple mutations the protein interacted much … » Go

Irreducible Complexity is an Obstacle to Darwinism Even if Parts of a System have other Functions

Michael J. Behe
February 18, 2004
In a recent column in the Wall Street Journal (February 13, 2004, Science Journal, page B1, “Evolution Critics Come Under Fire for Flaws In ‘Intelligent Design'”) science writer Sharon Begley repeated some false claims about the concept of irreducible complexity (IC) that have … » Go

Irreducible Complexity and the Evolutionary Literature

Michael J. Behe
July 31, 2000

Although several persons have cited numerous references from the scientific literature purporting to show that the problem of irreducible complexity I pointed out in Darwin’s Black Box is being seriously addressed, the references show no such thing.

Irreducible Complexity And Darwinian Pathways

Mike Gene
June 16, 2000
It’s official. Behe’s concept of irreducible complexity (IC) has found itself in the peer-reviewed scientific literature. Ironically, it was introduced by two critics of ID attempting to formulate non-teleological mechanisms for spawning IC. The article is: Thornhill, R.H., Ussery, … » Go

The Design of Life: Discovering Signs of Intelligence In Biological Systems

The Center for Science and Culture
September 5, 2008

For the newcomer to ID, Design of Life offers clearly written and well-illustrated chapters explicating ID’s basic scientific concepts, such as irreducible complexity and specified complexity. Design of Life even gives accessible discussions of more complex issues, such … » Go

Using Intelligent Design Theory to Guide Scientific Research

Jonathan Wells
May 10, 2004

Intelligent Design theory (ID) can contribute to science on at least two levels. On one level, ID is concerned with inferring from the evidence whether a given feature of the world is designed. This is the level on which William Dembski’s explanatory filter and Michael Behe’s concept … » Go
