NO MICROSCOPE REQUIRED TO OBSERVE IRREDUCIBLY COMPLEX SYSTEMS

We don’t need a microscope to observe irreducible complexity. The eye, the ear and the heart are all examples of irreducible complexity, despite not being recognized as such in Darwin’s day or even until recent years. The more scientists discover about living systems, the more distant the idea of evolution gets in the rear view mirror.

Darwin confessed, “To suppose that the eye (with all its inimitable contrivances for adjusting the focus to different distances, for admitting different amounts of light, and for the correction of spherical and chromatic aberration), could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest degree.”

Charles Darwin, “On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life,” 1859, p. 155.
