4.5K views · 277 reactions | How does an engineer look at irreducible complexity? He is looking at it from a systems level perspective. We no longer only look at an irreducibly complex part of an organism such as a flagella, but now we look at all the interactions of the system components with each other and so on.

Irreducible complexity is the argument that certain biological systems (like a bacterial flagellar motor) cannot have evolved by successive small modifications to pre-existing functional systems through natural selection. In other words, certain biological systems are too complex to be products of evolution because the removal of any one part destroys the function of the entire system. Irreducible complexity is seen as a challenge to Darwinian evolution, which remains the dominant model in the f
