I haven’t read “Darwin’s Black Box” and was wondering if Behe makes any reference to where he got the concept of “Irreducible Complexity” from.
A talkorigins article describes the idea as “essentially a rehash of the famously flawed watchmaker argument advanced by William Paley at the start of the 19th century”.
I’ve recently come across the idea in Grasse’s 1973 book “Evolution of Living Organisms”, but not being particularly ‘well read’, wondered if there were any other history.
