            I would add that Michael Behe, who is responsible for the claim that
    some biological structures are "irreducibly complex", does _not_ believe that
    this "proves evolution to be impossible." He would say that it shows that
    current evolutionary theories are _incomplete_, which is quite different. (& of
    course even the latter statement is subject to serious challenge.)

    Shalom,

    George
