The term irreducibly complex was invented by a biochemist Michael Behe to explain that highly complex biological systems need all their individual parts to function properly. They could not have been developed through natural processes. It is quite difficult for such a system to work at all with the loss of any individual parts. The term becomes well known to application in biological systems, but seems to refute Darwin’s theory of evolution. For example, many biochemical pathways involve enzymes
