Creation vs Evolution ♦ Biology / Chemistry

Irreducible complexity

We know that when a system is affected by a damage, it might still be functional, unless the damage is too big or it affects the vital parts of the system. For example if a car that runs on a road has an electrical issue, and one light turns off, the car is still roadworthy and the driver can take it later to a service station. But if the car loses one wheel, it will stop.

So, when looking into a system with multiple components, the question is how many of these components can be removed from the system, without compromising the entire functionality? If a system is assembled from components which are all absolutely required, we say that the system is irreducibly complex. This means that for a system with irreducible complexity, the removal of any of its components will produce the total failure of the entire system.

Life has a lot of examples of systems with irreducible complexity. All those systems need to have all the components at once in order to work. It is impossible to get the components one by one by a slow evolutive process. They all have to be there, at the same time and in the right place. Otherwise, the system will crash entirely. Evolution can not produce such systems.

Research Topics:

It is the most common explanation for the origin of our Universe. But is it “science” or “science fiction”?

Fossils are like “photos” of a lost world. They can “speak” without words, but with strong evidence. Is it really for Evolution?

Our origins define not only our past, but also our present and our future. What do we have in common with apes? Do we have a common ancestor, or a common creator?

Biology and Chemistry have provided a lot of incredible findings in the past decades. Instead of supporting evolution, they prove an intelligent designer.

Since it was discovered in 1869, DNA has fascinated the scientific world and proves to be the best information storage system. There is no naturalistic mechanism to explain its existence.

Rock layers cover vast regions and form the Earth’s crust. While secular scientists are very confident that they were deposited during long geologic ages, a lot of evidence has been brought to support the contrary.

Math is defined as the science and study of quality, structure and space. It is one of the most powerful tools used in different domains, and it is proof of an intelligent designer!
