I think we should take the time to consider the possibility that
at least some irreducibly complex systems may evolve (via indirect
means, as John points out).
Otherwise, we're going to have to start looking for the nano-sized
engineers which installed new and irreducibly complex functions in
some of the bacteria I once cultured.
