Irreducible Complexity — A Simple Idea with Far-Ranging Consequences, Deadly to Darwinism

Biochemist Michael Behe’s observation that many evolutionary innovations are “irreducibly complex” is a simple idea, conveyed effectively in just 2 minutes and 38 seconds in the video above. But its challenge to Darwinian explanations of life’s wonders is severe, and one to which evolutionary advocates have found no convincing answer.

This month we celebrate Dr. Behe’s work and the 20th anniversary of his path-breaking book Darwin’s Black Box. That work is the subject of a new hour-long documentary, Revolutionary: Michael Behe and the Mystery of Molecular Machines, written and directed by John West. It’s available now on DVD and Blu-ray.
