On this episode of ID the Future, Casey Luskin reports on a new peer-reviewed paper arguing for the irreducible complexity of two systems vital to bird flight — feathers and the avian respiratory system. The author, Leeds University professor Andy McIntosh, challenges his critics to consider the design hypothesis as a valid scientific assumption “borne out by the evidence itself.”
