View at YouTube

Michael Behe made the bacterial flagellum famous in his renowned bestseller, Darwin’s Black Box. For years critics of intelligent design have tried to refute Behe’s theory of irreducible complexity by claiming that the Type III Secretory System found in some bacteria was a precursor to the flagellar motor Behe made famous.

How exactly do we know the flagellum came first? In a 12-minute video discussion, Stephen C. Meyer explains how we know this and highlights four good and independent reasons the Type III Secretory System it isn’t ancestral to the flagellum.
