Scientific evidence was beginning to accumulate that while Natural Selection could explain how variations...

...envisioned everything being guided by natural selection. The following quote conveys his thinking: "If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ...modifications, my theory would absolutely break down." - Charles Darwin Darwin should be applauded for this particular statement. This quote is right on target....

...whether Darwinian natural selection is capable of accounting for it. Quoting Darwin's acknowledgment "If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ...modifications, my theory would absolutely break down," Behe introduces the concept of irreducible complexity: a system is irreducibly complex if it would...

Charles Darwin, the father of evolution theory, also stated, "If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ...modifications, my theory would absolutely break down!" Many and repeated times it has broken down! Biochemists have shown that biochemical systems are designed...

Behe quotes Darwin as saying, "If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ...slight modifications, my theory would absolutely break down."36 Behe calls any machine that would not work unless several parts were present and put together...

But I can find out no such case."64 Darwin's challenge is an invitation to falsify his theory rather than merely to confirm it....

...complexity could be properly demonstrated, it would wreck Darwin's theory. Darwin himself said as much: 'If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ...theory would absolutely break down. But I can find no such case.' Darwin could find no such case, and nor has anybody since Darwin's time, despite strenuous,...

He wrote in The Origin of Species: 'If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ...modifications, my theory would absolutely break down.' So are eyes perfect?
