Behe's Law
Behe's Law states that complex biological systems, like the cell or the eye, cannot originate solely through random mutations and natural selection because such intricate structures require multiple interconnected parts to function properly from the start. In essence, Behe argues that some biological features are "irreducibly complex," meaning they depend on several parts working together, making gradual evolution unlikely. This concept challenges the idea that all complex systems can evolve gradually, suggesting that some features may require intelligent design or other explanations beyond natural selection.
