Note: This paper was withdrawn from EcoEvoRxiv during standard dumping of creationist-centric material.Advocates of the concept of irreducible complexity in the natural world have propositionally identified the symbiotic relationship between the blind shrimp and the goby fish as incapable of having naturally evolved. An irreducibly complex system is most commonly identified as ���A system���(that) includes a set of well-matched, mutually interacting, nonarbitrarily (sic.) individuated parts such that each part in the set is indispensable to maintaining the system���s basic, and therefore original, function.���, although it may be noted that various definitions and articulations of the concept itself are present in contemporary literature. The concept may be summarized as the idea that certain biological and natural systems and organisms are so intricately complex, that there is no conceivable method by which those systems or organisms could have arisen by ���chance��� through naturalistic or darwinian evolution. While evolutionists may claim that such systems did indeed evolve naturally, the argument goes, this does not explain how it happened. This type of partnership (as is observed in the symbiotic relationship between the goby fish and the blind shrimp), it is said, had to have been programmed into them by their Creator from the very beginning of their existence. This paper examines such a claim in light of what is known about symbiotic relationships among organisms as they are observed in nature.License: CC BY-ND (Attribution-NoDerivatives)https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/4.0/legalcode |
