The Michael Behe (intelligent design)

Michael Behe, a proponent of intelligent design, argues that some biological structures are too complex to have evolved solely through natural processes like mutation and selection. He introduces the concept of "irreducible complexity," meaning that certain systems (e.g., the bacterial flagellum) require all parts to function, so they could not have gradually developed step-by-step. Behe suggests that such complexity implies an intelligent cause behind these designs, challenging traditional views of evolution. His ideas are controversial and debated within the scientific community, as many scientists believe natural selection can explain these complex features without invoking an intelligent designer.
