A
ID is a paradigm and normal science fears that ID won’t need to discover.
1
Q
How does Miller say Behe’s argument is not traditional creationism?
A
Behe’s irreducible complexity makes Darwinian evolution impossible in principle, whereas traditional arguments rely on attacking gaps in intermediates, etc
2
Q
Miller on Behe’s logic
A
“Machines-> irreducibly complex
Therefore, those machines will not be evolutionarily feasible without even one bit.
Darwinian selection could not lead to such irreducibility.
ID”
Statement 3 is weak link, given that new research shows intermediates in eel sperm flagellum, protein pump, etc.
