Hawkmoth Defense Mechanisms: A Case Study in an Unevolvable Irreducibly Complex System

Resources
Long ago in some forests far far away, evolutionists allege that "ultrastonic hearing has evolved at least twice independently in two distantly related subtribes"1 of hawkmoths. These two moths, though distantly related, have "hearing organs [which] evolved independently" and "are made up not only

The DNA - Enzyme System is Irreducibly Complex

Resources
Consider the following explanation from evolutionist biologist Frank B. Salisbury from American Biology Teacher, Sept. 1971, pg. 338: "Surely our ideas about the origin of life will have to change radically with the passage of time. Not only is the gene itself a problem: think of the system that

Non-Functional Intermediates in Human Physiology

Resources
There are various aspects of human physiology for which it is difficult to imagine functional intermediates. In his book, What Darwin Didn't Know, Geoffrey Simmons outlines many aspects of human physiology which pose challenges to evolutionary theory because it is difficult to imagine how they co

Evolution and the Problem of Non-Functional Intermediates

Resources
Non-functionality and Irreducible Complexity: In the Origin of the Species, Charles Darwin said, "If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed which could not possibly have been formed by numerous, successive, slight modifications, my theory would absolutely break down."1 In evol

The Origin of Human Speech: an "all or nothing" jump!

Resources
Consider the following explanation from evolutionary philosopher Stephen Pinker regarding the origin of human speech (from Pinker, S., (1994). 'The Big Bang', Chapter 11 of The Language Instinct, pp. 332-369. New York, NY: William Morrow and Company): "Elephants are the only living animals that

The Vertebrate Animal Heart: Unevolvable, whether Primitive or Complex

Resources
"We conclude that there is a design in the evolution of the venous connections of the heart, pectinate muscles, atrioventricular valves,' left ventricular tendons, outflow tracts, and great arteries. One neglected aspect in the study of evolution is that of anticipation. Fish atria and ventricles ap
