my theory would absolutely break down” (Pearcey, 2004). Behe raises a strong argument that suggests the simplistic explanation Darwin gives is not enough to understand the secrets of our origin. Behe uses the term irreducible complexity, meaning the lowest level of complexity that is essential for integrated systems to be able to function. Here Behe introduces us to the mouse-trap. If a mouse-trap is to work effectively, all of its parts must be correctly positioned correctly and must also…
