"Working backwards , you can take any IC system , add a redundant part or many parts that create redundancy , take away the modern part you are replacing and by doing a few iterations of this you can create a non-IC system . A non-IC system can obviously evolve , but now run the film back forward again and what do you know , you have created an IC system through scaffolding . Best of all , not giant leaps were required as the concept of IC contends . I can imagine this process for any system that fits the definition of IC ."
"So thatÂ ’ s it Â– thereÂ ’ s nothing else to study on the subject ? The process you describe naturally takes long periods of time . Do you wonder if , during this process , information/health/life could lie dormant for long periods of time , or if it would have to make some of its changes close to the time when other things changed , or when the system became operational ? In mid-2001 , the Human Genome Project and Celera Genomics jointly presented the true nature and complexity of the digital code inherent in DNA . We now understand that each human DNA molecule is comprised of chemical bases arranged in approximately 3 billion precise sequences . Even the DNA molecule for the single-celled bacterium , E. coli , contains enough information to fill all the books in any of the world 's largest libraries . ID proponents are often accused of saying Â “ goddidit , that settles it , stop lookingÂ ” , and it seems that atheists do that quite often as well . Can you quote any ID proponent saying what you said , that Â “ we donÂ ’ t need to develop exact pathsÂ…Â ” ? Behe can describe exploration of paths , that arenÂ ’ t being explored to any great extent now . ( too religious , don't-cha-know ) In his words ; Â “ Since the simplest possible design scenario posits a single cell Â–formed billions of years ago Â– that already contained all information to produce descendant organisms , studies could test this scenario by attempting to calculate how much DNA would be required to code the information ( keeping in mind that much of the information might be implicit ) lf DNA alone is insufficient , studies could be initiated to see if information could be stored in the cell in other ways Â– for example , as positional information . Other work could focus on whether larger , compound systems ( containing two or more irreducibly complex systems ) could have developed gradually or whether there are compounded irreducibilities.Â ” Â “ Blind , purposeless , happenstance nature did it , that settles it , stop lookingÂ ” ? Is that your answer ? Is the type of study Behe describes something for atheists to be afraid of ?"
