![• Robert Dorit7:
“Many of the proteins of the eye lens, for example, began their careers doing
something completely different and unrelated to vision. Evolution is a
creative scavenger, taking what is available and putting it to new use. The
correct metaphor for the Darwinian process is not that of a First World
engineer, but that of a Third World auto mechanic who will get your car
running again, but only if the parts already lying around can be used for the
repair”.
• H. Allen Orr8 dismisses the above proposed refutation of ID:
“We might think that some of the parts of an irreducibly complex system
evolved step by step for some other purpose and were then recruited
wholesale to a new function [which is precisely what Dorit proposed]. But
this is unlikely. You may as well hope that half your car’s transmission will
suddenly help out in the airbag department. Such things might happen very,
very rarely, but they surely do not offer a general solution to irreducible
complexity.”](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/intelligentdesign-230901170405-b5b5957f/75/Intelligent-Design-pptx-23-2048.jpg)

- 16. NAME-CALLING ● Pennock describesID as follows: “The last decade of the millennium saw the arrival of a new player in the creation/evolution debate – the intelligent design movement.” ● Barbara Forrest informs the reader that: “Intelligent design theory is the most recent – and most dangerous – manifestation of creationism.”

It is the „argument from design,‟ the oldest and best rhetorical weapon against evolution… Behe has dusted off the argument from design, spiffed it up with the terminology of modern biochemistry, and then applied it to the proteins and macromolecular machines that run the living cell.”

- 20. IRREDUCIBLE COMPLEXITY Extremely complexstructures can evolve gradually according to the standard Darwinian mechanism for evolution, But not when irreducible complexity is involved. Evolution within the lowest levels of biological classification might be purely Darwinian, but the origin of higher-level groups requires designed mutations.
