a. Describe Behe’s argument of “irreducible complexity.” Is it a logical argument? How does it apply to the bacterial flagellum or the vertebrate eye?

b. Opponents of intelligent design refer to irreducible complexity as an “argument from personal incredulity” (i.e., “I personally can’t imagine how this could have evolved, so it must not have evolved.”). What is the logical flaw of an argument from personal incredulity? Do you think it is fair to characterize irreducible complexity in this way?
