Re: Transitional Fossils and a Nested Hierarchy Test
No, to disprove evolution you need something that absolutely can't be explained by the current theory--some undisputed fact that just doesn't fit, and can't be made to fit.
Well put and of course that is why the intelligent design folks keep dragging out yet another example of "irreducible complexity" each time someone dismantles the previous example. Almost reminiscent of the much discredited "Gish Gallop" argumentation technique.
Index.php - RationalWiki
And of course "irreducible complexity" is really a variation of the "no transitional fossils" claim by the traditional YECers. Which is exactly why in my opinion there is not really a dime's worth of difference between a YECer and an IDer.
