Oh come on, you're equivocating two entirely unrelated concepts, when you yourself stated what the "irreducible complexity" argument ACTUALLY states:
Your definition:
What I actually said:
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.

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.
