Interesting and yet man can so far not make these structures. But as history
has shown, infering design just because we can imagine that it looks man-made
has not been fruitful. Interestingly someone just posted about the F-ATPase
and suggested that it might not be IC after all. I will see if I can find the
references.
Of course even if it were IC, we still have to address the issue that we have
seen how natural processes could lead to IC systems so IC itself is suddenly
not a reliable detector of design anymore and we need to eliminate natural
pathways before we can infer design or we need to find a positive inference
of design rather than a negative one.
