A further thought...
The ID hypothesis (that a designer was involved in the origin of life)
entails that there was a first designer (in a possible chain of designers),
unless IDers wish to argue for an infinite regression of designers (which
few people would find plausible).
Since Behe claims that irreducibly complex systems must be intelligently
designed, it follows inescapably that the first designer cannot have been
irreducibly complex or have had any irreducibly complex components. I'd
like to see Behe acknowledge this.
