Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Psalm 139:14 NLT
"Behe quotes Darwin as saying, “If it could be demonstrated that
any complex organ existed which could not possibly have been formed by numerous, successive, slight modifications, my theory would absolutely break down.” {Michael J. Behe, Darwin’s Black Box, 1996, p. 24.}
Behe calls any machine which would not work at all unless several parts were present and put together properly, “irreducibly complex.”
Take away any part of a thing that is irreducibly complex, and it won’t work.
Not only does the cell contain machines which in themselves are irreducibly complex, these machines must work together with other machines of the cell.
Thomas F. Heinze

Now, pay attention!
If one could take away either the machines which make proteins, or the regulatory machines, not one of the cell’s many other machines would work either."Thomas F. Heinze
