“There’s actually a new movement in the science world called Irreducible Complexity that discounts evolution as a means of how life came into existence. Google it.”

I Googled it. Took me one click to find Michael Behe – the guy behind Irreducible Complexity and the new laughingstock of the scientific community.

From his Wikipedia entry: “Behe’s claims about the irreducible complexity of key cellular structures are strongly contested by the scientific community. The Department of Biological Sciences at Lehigh University has published an official position statement which says “It is our collective position that intelligent design has no basis in science, has not been tested experimentally, and should not be regarded as scientific.” Behe’s ideas about intelligent design have been rejected by the scientific community and characterized as pseudoscience.”

Is this a new movement – or more of same in a slick new package? Creationism –> Intelligent Design –> Irreducible Complexity –> “God did it.”

You have the right to believe whatever you want, but there is no reason to try to pass religious beliefs off as science. There’s no shame in having faith and believing in God. But please, stop trying to claim that religion = science. It’s ridiculous.
