Irreducible Complexity Essay

Science is an instrument used to gather knowledge to understand our world and is also used to find discoveries that will change it. When people try to learn how the world came to be, they often go to science to find a way. through science many ideas come up to how the world began, some say it exists by chance, others say it was created by God, but what is it really? Scientific evidence is consistent with the belief that the physical universe was designed by God. Some of this evidence which is consistent with this belief is; the origin of matter, the complexity of DNA, and the concept of irreducible complexity. There are two types of science operational science and origins science. Operational science is the science that reoccurs and is testable. Origins science helps make educated guesses about origins in the past. …show more content…
The purpose of Irreducible complexity was to disprove evolution, but it also agrees with the idea that there is a God. The point of Irreducible Complexity is that if you take anything that has multiple parts that can work together in one function and take only one of those parts away that thing will stop working. The first example Behe used to show this concept was the mouse trap: if you take any of the five parts of the mouse trap away it is then no longer a mouse trap. After showing the example of the mouse trap Behe showed another example, one that was biological and shows that it itself is a design or a creation. This example was the bacterial flagellum or cilium. He went on to show that cilia are not only hair-like parts of a cell used to move fluids in cellular structures but that cilia itself is made up of multiple parts and if you were to take any of those parts away the cilia would not be able to perform its functions Thus proving that the cilia cannot be evolved especially at a slow process and had to be engineered and created by
