Some Christians who accept the mainstream science view of the origin of the species (evolution), in a fair-minded and an admirably conciliatory way, throw a bone to the Intelligent Design movement’s pursuits by allowing that some good may come of having the consensus view challenged, acting as a good exercise routine for the theory of evolution. “After all, we wouldn’t know how the bacterial flagellum evolved if scientists hadn’t studied it for the purpose of debunking the claim of irreducible complexity attached to that particular trait.” Now, as I intimated above, I appreciate this even-handed and humble approach of people we disagree with. But something has always bothered me about this and now recently, in my own private study of economics, of all things, I put my finger on it. Bear with me: what I’m about to say is not at all an arcane or esoteric dissertation on economics. It’s all rather rudimentary reasoning, actually.
