Pete Dunkelberg IC Demystified makes the point that : if « irreducible complexity » is tautologically redefined to allow a valid argument that intelligent design is the correct explanation for life then there is no such thing as irreducible complexity » in the mechanisms of life; while, if we use the unmodified original definition then « irreducible complexity » has nothing whatever to do with evolution.
