Theoretical physics shows "irreducible complexity" arguments invalid.

Theoretical physics shows "irreducible complexity" arguments invalid.
Oh come on, you're equivocating two entirely unrelated concepts, when you yourself stated what the "irreducible complexity" argument ACTUALLY states:

Quote:Irreducible complexity
Irreducible complexity (IC) is an argument by proponents of intelligent design that certain biological systems are too complex to have evolved from simpler, or "less complete" predecessors, through natural selection acting upon a series of advantageous naturally occurring, chance mutations.
Irreducible complexity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Your definition:

What I actually said:
rampant.a.i.="Irreducible Complexity" [b Wrote:Arguments[/b] Are fundamentally invalid.

Notice the change to the straw-man "Irreducible complexity does not exist," compared to "Irreducible complexity arguments are fundamentally invalid."


And the first example you throw out is the "irreducible complexity of the eye"?

Really? Go back one page, note the reference to how that "argument" was refuted two decades ago.
