What does “irreducibly complex” even mean? Go study fractals, chaos theory, and cellular automata (all straightforward mathematical concepts), then get back to us about “irreducibly complex”.

Oh please. Fractals, chaos theory, and cellular automata, are "magic" words you're using to cloud the issue.

Furthermore, your "syllogism" is a laughable straw man. Where the hell is "irreducible complexity" in the premises?

You just pulled it out of you hate like all the other discovery channel scholars.

"Preemptively shatter," indeed!

Hey, it’s the lead article that brought out the meaningless “irreducible complexity”, other magic words, and pulled ‘em all from hate of anything actually trying to understand how natural systems work and what that all implies (”OMG! Implies history more than 10,000 years! MUST DESTROY! Fling vapid insults! Repeating ‘God!’ is enough, you heretic!”).

Hey, fact is: complex systems can & do arise from simple principles. Every living thing starts from a single cell, so complexity obviously arises from simple. I’m not “clouding”, I’m honestly trying to understand and see how those actually apply in real systems. If that terrifies you, that’s on you.
