Irreducible Complexity in Darwin's Black Box
AnalogyNature Nugget★★★★In Michael Behe’s book, Darwin’s Black Box, he talks about the complexity of cells and systems within a cell. He says that it could not have happened on a gradual step-by-step basis because you need that whole system for the cell to function.

Ayer, Jim; Nelson, Janice, “Evolution The Evidence” (AudioVerse teaching 30976).
The point
The illustration cites Michael Behe's argument that the complexity of cellular systems points to intelligent design, as such systems require all parts to function at once and thus could not have evolved gradually.
