Explain how intelligent design proponents use the simple mousetrap as an example of irreducible complexity, and how the mousetrap really isn’t irreducibly complex. Explain how intelligent design proponents use the bacterial flagellum as an example of irreducible complexity, and how the bacterial flagellum really isn’t irreducibly complex, either.
Describe the functional anatomy of the duct system that conveys bile from the liver and digestive juice from the pancreas to the lumen of the duodenum. The pancreatic juice is a mixture of sodium bicarbonate and digestive enzymes that travel through the pancreatic ducts directly to the lumen of the duodenum. Chyme is partially digested […]
