As it relates to enlightening the masses, what happens if we do not figure out the origin of life and irreducible complexity? Isn't it logical that, with the overwhelming propensity for people to believe in a god, that naturalism will lose appeal when promised answers are not forthcoming? With 50% or so of scientist believing in god or higher power now, wouldn't that number just increase as time passes--further supporting a trend away from naturalism?
Even if you find an organism that requires every bit working in an irreducibly complex way it would not mean that evolution would be wrong. Bits can be reused repurposed and discarded. Evolution is a wonder. For your delectation how we hear with ancient fish jaw bones.
