Post Evidence for irreducible complexity.

This thread is sparked by some hints by vanderzyden in the 'non-natural knowledge' thread at producing some irreducible complexity proposals.

In effect: scigirls challenge to vanderzyden has reached a dead end, with vander so far not even accepting that the fused human chromosome looks like a fused chromosome. This thread might hopefully be vanderzydens irreducible complexity challenge to us.

Bring them on! Even Behe himself has admitted that many cases he cites were not irreducible after all.

DNAunion: Really? Got links or references? I seem to remember Behe saying once that if any one of his examples was shown to not be IC, then the whole idea was worthless.

I will have a look, but I think it was an indirect quote, so I will try for the original.
