Well we can make stators , rotors, propellers etc. It doesn't take a
"higher" intelligence to make them, and there is nothing preventing us from
doing so, just advances in technology.We can make irreducibly complex
systems. In the Conference of Molecular Nanotechnology held in 1998 they
were actually able to make a motor much like the flagellum. There is also a
patent on such a motor: >>
Cool, so we can use nature's examples to design things. Does this mean that
nature could not have designed it? Of course not. There is no doubt that we
acn make irreducibly complex systems, there is also no doubt that natural
systems can lead to IC systems as well, so how do you suppose we
differentiate between them? If your argument is that natural processes cannot
lead to IC systems then I urge you to provide evidence for this. And do we
have any evidence that any of the biological systems we find in nature were
designed? Other than them being IC? I am asking for positive evidence, not
evidence infered from the lack of our knowledge.
