I would like to know what others think about Michael Behe's principle of Irreducible Complexity. I believe that it is the most serious obstacle to those who purport evolution by blind chance rather than by direction.

In short, it is the principle that many biological functions are so complex that they cannot exist in a reduced state of complexity and so could not have developed slowly. They would have had to have sprung into being in a complete form in order to even function and exist.

I candidly admit that I am not a scientist, so I have included Michael Behe's homepage link where he can explain it better than I.

Any thoughts AF? Amazing? OneGlove? Anyone else?
